This sage advice reminds me of the ferro-cement sailboat guys in the sixties/early seventies. 50' hull framed with rebar, stretch on the chicken wire. Gunnite swimming pool guys spray on the goop, bust out the trowel. 50' sailboat for 8 grand. Now comes the sails, spars, rigging, interior, diesel auxillary, bronze hardware. None of which are cheap. OK, I'm getting off topic. Like all the smart guys here say, get it SAFE, enjoy it and work as you go. They don't have to be expensive to have some really good. clean fun. And where are those pictures?
