merc2dogs is on a distinguished road
Also, I wouldn't worry about the time spent tinkering on the boat.
I spend an extremely large amount of time working on the boat (bike/car/garage/whatever) not because it needs it, but because I like to.

Had a project mustang. In 15 years it had been 6 different colors, had three different engines, 4 transmissions, three completely different interiors, and several different axles. It was perfectly functional a week after I picked it up, I just enjoyed working on it. I did manage to get 28mpg highway with a 375 horse 351w V8 by playing with gearing and tire size, only 12 city though. Was awesome, could beat most street cars I ran against, do block long burn outs, then cruise all day on $10.

Ken.
