This has become an interesting project. Looking good!
Some comment they would never work on a boat, but to each his own. If you view it as an interesting project to look forward to, it becomes just that. And the end result can be a lifetime boat, if you do it right. It looks like you are on that path.
I am typically doing these for a customer or to flip, so I have to do a good job but do it quickly. It becomes a full-time job until it's done. That makes it more intense, but is pretty satisfying. I think the man-hours of the work itself are about the same, but the overall hours are probably less, because you set up once and then work continuously until it's done, rather than setting up and taking down numerous times.
For that reason, I now like the non-stop, until it's done method the most, after doing a number of them, but the first couple were a little nerve racking. Put a bit of thought into it, make up and plan and GO.
Of course, not everyone can go at it hard like that, having jobs and families and so on.
