Re: Guestimate the hours!

My boat is similar - 18-foot, fiberglass, outboard, closed bow. Completely gutted and replaced every stick of wood. Probably upwards of 100 hours actual work time, including a rebuild of the motor. Lots of nice little 1/2-hour and 1-hour jobs to do in the evenings, so it breaks up nicely.

Re: Guestimate the hours!

keep the projects small enough, that you can see the progress, or you may get discouraged.
