That's a lesson to everyone.  Do one job at a time and 
finish them.  Yeah, there are some that can start a
dozen jobs and finish them all.  But there are many 
more who end up with a boat that needs so much work
to get it sailing again that the labor costs offset
the value of the boat.

These boats can be a great deal for those with the
time and inclination, though.
