[QUOTE="thill, post: 494586, member: 4972"] Fortunately for me, when I was younger I worked with older techs who had a way with words. They would say stuff like, [B]"Son, we are already making it better than factory, and that lasted 25 years. This should last 40. Why on earth are you trying to turn this into a science project?"[/B] And, [B]"Something you need to remember... You [U][I]never[/I][/U] get time back. Once it's gone, it's gone. Don't throw it away. As you get older, you'll appreciate what I'm trying to tell you."[/B] And now that I'm older,[I][U] I DO.[/U][/I] So I try to look at a project and decide how much time and money I want to put into it before I even buy it. Often, the end value won't be enough to justify it. Sometimes, I could buy the same boat with a good motor, in good condition for the same or less than the money and time of fixing it up. So I shop very carefully nowadays! You never get time back, so use it wisely. [/QUOTE]
