Commander 26 Re Build

You know I was just teasing bud
 
The hardest thing to learn for most mechanics by far is how to keep clean, it takes a lot of effort and discipline to stick to it. It takes 2-5 mins to clean tools after every job, and another few minutes to clean up after yourself in the morning after leaving a mess late night.
Clean shops attract clean customers….
Rats nests attract….
A clean shop allows for expansion and business growth,
A dirty shop needs to be cleaned first before any expansion or business growth.
We shower and brush our teeth in the morning… why not do the same for the shop?

Have you thought about seeing if Monaro marine can finish it? You have done so much and in reality are somewhat fairly close to being done. All the long tedious stuff. Let them get it to the point you want to take over on the final stuff. Going to be much cheaper than selling and buying another boat. Unless raincity buys it!

Man…. Wouldnt that be something to have Monaro finish my glass work 😍, sounds a lots better than some shed at shelter island…
But then again Ron has been spotted polishing boats just up the street from where my commander is supposed to go LoL, wouldn’t that be something if he had to drive by my commander everyday to work, he’d pee his panties.
 
My first rough estimates I got :
25k for electrical,
25K for carpentry
10-15k to finish glassing and gel coat.
Of course It depends how fancy I want the boat.
Few grand for a pod and then of course
Twins

And don’t forget to add :
Keeping the wife happy - pricelesssss

With how much work you have done and how meticulous everything is
I’d make sure I have seen alot of whichever shop you went withs work beforehand would hate to see you come this far and end up with something your not happy with!

Dam I knew another members 26 with twin outboards at 100k was a good deal. If I lived in a tax free US state I might have swapped last year but 12k in taxes just didn’t make sense to me to gain beam and speed but have harder resale down the road. If RS didn’t jump into another project I would say he did the right thing.

Carpentry is at a marine shop? Carpenters are hired direct is likely a better deal, Marine electrical is harder to do at a good deal direct but possible since you have a trailer. A member on here in Sooke rigs electrical on lots of good new boats but could be booked til fall.

I think he was willing to go 85k if remember right.
I need someone to get it all done without me running around, Anisur from Rigel marine definitely knows his stuff and has connections to get everything done, including a few guys that built commanders back in the day.
But can’t guarantee me the boat ready for summer, and even if it did hit the water this summer, it wouldn’t be fully completed, with some final touches left for the fall.

Now that’s a problem for my wife, I put her thru so much with my half year build, now she’s been setting up a new company with me. We both been running on 5 hours of sleep for a couple months now, but have a realistic goal of taking most of the summer off…. I need a boat this summer… period
I can’t be dragging her out pounding on my thunderjet on water that it’s not meant for
