Hey you know we bought a boat a few years ago. The whole family boating project. Many say it is a hole in the water where you can just dump you money. Well I say it's a lot of family fun, summer fun. The first year we had the boat it did cost money, but you see I bought it cheap. The actual fun to start was the fix up. We went fishing and when my son caught a fish he would jump up and down almost going threw the deck of the boat. So we had to fix it. The whole family helped. We remove the deck only to find out that the stringers were no good. Than we removed the stringers. What a project. But the family was having fun we were doing it together. Well we scraped all the wood off and washed it all down it was just a big vee with a gas tank. This also took a lot of money so we all chipped in between working and change what ever we could make online. We finally were able to start to rebuild the boat. Went and got marine plywood and cut all down to size.
