A monster boat, and a monster undertaking. I can’t even imagine what it costs to dock this behemoth while doing the complete renovation.

A bit of advice to the casual guy with a dream of renovating an old boat. Unless you have a buttload of cash that you want to piss away DO NOT TAKE on this huge of a project.

It can eat you up financially and drive you to divorce. I’ve seen it happen.

Unless of course you can’t stand your significant other and use it as an excuse to get away and hide out “working on the boat”.

Don’t Do This To Yourself

It’s a good thing to dream.

However, unless you have unlimited time, patience and money try not to take on a project like this. With the cost of materials today I can pretty much assure you that you can find a used boat in much better condition for not a whole lot of money compared to what it will take to restore this kind of boat.

I hope this guy sees his project through and I’ll be taking pictures of a beautifully restored vessel.

Good luck pal.
