Main thing is to heal, the boat can wait but getting yourself jacked up will impact every aspect of your life.

This is very true.....I will not be overexerting myself for this boat.....but I will not do nothing either if I feel I can do something....even if it's tinkering with the engine or sandblasting my horn that I got for it....Something I can stand for and not bend too much.

The boat found a new home


And before you think I have up by that statement....... don't get your underwear in a bundle.....I haven't given up.... however... progress has been significantly reduced.... the city received a call for someone owning chickens in the neighborhood... when they came to inspect.. they saw my garage tent and sent me a notice to remove it... because I guess it was a violation of city ordinances......I called the lady to let her know why it was there.... no cares given..... remove the tent or pay a fine.... but guess what??? Non functioning boats are also not allowed to be parked in yards in my town... store it inside.....

Long story short.... garage door is 6 inches shy of fitting the trailer inside.... so here I sit.... paying 75.00 a month for a storage unit.....I am going to do everything I can during the winter to be able to still work on this boat.... always a speed bump with this boat��

On the plus side...I now have a 10x24 work areathat is about 15 feet high! I asked the manager of I could work on it and she said as long as I don't make a mess.. that's ok.. .. good grief!

Understand, most places have some type of laws on boats; size, usuable, ….

Just a note but you can get a folding bracket for the trailer. Here is an example but they come in all sizes.

Going on maybe a month since anything productive was accomplished. Boat is no longer in my yard so that makes things slightly harder to work on it....Not to mention the fact that all my toys and tools are still at my house so nothing much can be done until everything is at the storage unit. With that being said, I did purchase a second hand generator for power at the unit, and aside from that, I have turned the majority of my focus onto a separate project. I am rebuilding an old utility trailer. The front half of it is going to be enclosed and the back half is going to be an open flat bed. There will be access doors on the sides that open up to small compartments where I can store tools or whatever else. I want to get this trailer finished before it starts snowing, so at bare minimum, I can load all my tools onto it and get them all over to the storage unit in one shot. Not to mention, given current circumstances with the boat, I now am looking harder at moving elsewhere and will need a good working trailer for that job. I may not be posting and progress may be slowed, but I am still here, hovering around and reading other's threads.
