Definitely time for a reboot. Guys on here have spent years doing what you have done in 6 months. Go take the ol out of town for the weekend and bang. Always helps me recharge. You think better after you have rested and I think better when Im not distracted being home and or at work. Leave town asap. You can thank me later.

Absolutely right . I usually get out of town with the boys mid winter but you know I have lot of stuff to pay for so I didn`t . Bad mistake. I didn`t get my reset. My sanity suffers .
Leaving for 10 days with the family on the 13th with the jet boat to Alabama shores thou.
Can`t come soon enough.

Prop Star, I just haven`t heard good things when it comes to time line with Nabbers. He can really drive people nuts .
Wally I`m not sure seems like a lot of extra grinding on the outside of the transom.
Maybe I just need some time away from thinking and working on this thing.
Wasn`t really the final price that I lost it on , it was that it was double and then some from what I expected.
It`s my own fault , when I take on a project it`s full on till it`s done, Im not good at doing things slower .
I took on too much this year, transom, re rig #6`s , both engine rebuilds, running a business, at night I`m remodeling our bathroom , new jet boat , sell jet ski, custom parts, painting and powdercoating, polishing. Season depression setting in.
living in a dark and gloomy state.. it all just came crashing down . I`ve slept most of the last few days .. I`m just beyond burned out .
I need to step back .

Hi Tim , Got to say I love your Scarab and look to get one just like it for my place in Florida . But unfortunately if it is not a composite boat it too one day may need a transom . It is the curse of this hobby . Some time I think drugs would have been cheaper .

I hear you on being over your head and budget on your transom...
as stated before, you are not too far from being done...
take your time. skip one summer worst case, money saved will outpay the difference of your transom job.
you will have a nice piece to own next year when done!
keep your head up, look forward, and never look back!

I`ll up my wellbutrin dosage and give it another shot in a few months, I gotta see what a tunnelcram , #6, $300k Flat Deck can do .
The intakes are coming along...

Ya, that’s our consensus, but you have to do what’s best for you and your family! Although I do like your decision to keep it rolling along! Remember we are family and will do what we can to keep your head held high! You have plenty of support here, just reach out when your feeling down and we will do the best we can to lift you up.
I can’t wait to see this come to fruition and you go flying by me out on Lake MI!
Keep looking up!
