I've hit the bottom guys and listed the boat and motor for sale.

With the stupid budget crisis in CA f'ing with my paycheck and bills stacking up at home. We decided it was time to give up on the project. This doesn't mean I'm not going to get another boat. Just have to wait for finances to mellow out. I get a nice pay raise next summer (cs is done!) so I'm thinking I can start to save up and get another project then, maybe a tunnel. We'll see what happens.
