Hey.
(in the right section)? I am trying to earn money in any way I can, so I can buy this boat that I really want. Would anyone be interested in hiring me for work? I can help in any way possible (organize/clean garage etc)

-Sam

BTW: This is the boat I really want. And i know all you guys can help :thumbsup:

Nice looking old boat. Just don't burn your tootsies on the exhaust if you are standing on the sundeck.

I know people here have had good luck with some of the labor-ready services around here.

Im 16 years old and a reliable worker :thumbsup: That Chris Craft is my dream boat, that will be a great project boat if I can somehow get money. I am trying to sell my Mini Hawk, but no success yet.

Working is something i'd do anyday. Boating is my passion and in order to fufull that passion work is involved. If i worked hard for the 2 boats I own now, i know i can work even harder for this CC. Money pit is right- its a great project boat that can use some TLC

what can you get to near your house quickly after school? any grocery stores, anything? dishwasher? if you want it bad enough, you'll figure a way out to make it happen. that way,my son,,, you'll learn from it :thumbsup::iagree::cool:

Great advice. You will look back one day and realize you are way ahead of the game with what you have at that age. I wouldn't get into a big project without big $$$$ available

Crawled all over that boat for 2 hours taking note of different things. I have the owners number and I am calling him again tomorrow. It's a solid boat just needs updated upholstery and an engine tune up. I will keep updating my mini hawk in the meantime.

My highschool custodial workers hire students sometimes to help with simple jobs. That's something that could possibly help.

Set my Legs on earth the same way as You. Get a Lawn mower. Go house to House. Offer to do it for less. 5 jobs at $10 will add up quickly. Work in ya Zone. When you can get a Car. Mow more inyour Zone. Learn to grow. Hire people to work for ya. Or call Ralph at Lindinhurst marine and work on motors.:rolleyes:

Iv'e gotta say that kid has passion. Don't see too many these day's willing to work hard for something they really want. Most are too lazy playing video games or texting, or begging mom and dad for money such as mine do. My boy is only 11 though. I only hope he has the drive that you do when he is your age. Good luck kid, and remember, Good things come to people who are willing to work hard.

Good idea! I we had a little snow on the ground- got to it :).

I also have decided to keep the Mini Hawk and I think that was a good choice:thumbsup:
