My summer plans include setting up my backyard for the kids to have a playset, start restoring a vintage speedboat I got for $200, and convincing my wife I need a 3d printer.

Vintage speedboat made of wood?

Long weekend for me this weekend, moving the last unwanted furniture items from my garage to my mothers place.
Also picking up a few bits and pieces for my arcade machine.  Exzited!

I wish I could find a wood speedboat to work on, or even had the talents to really do a wooden boat justice. The one I bought was a 1950's Shell Lake fiberglass boat. I suppose I should have used the term "classic." So far it is just the floor that is rotted and most the interior work that is missing, but there might be more severe damage when I rip out the floor. It has a 80's motor that needs a touch of work, and I will leave it in. It is hard to get period accurate when on a budget.

This is not mine, but a similar boat:

Budget?  LOL

BOAT = bust out another thousand

The happiest two days of your life are when you buy a boat and when you sell it.
