Creator's Key Takeaways

i highly recommend it because because it's uh i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world this has been just the best experience

the idea is to get this ship into a into a condition where it's making you know far more money than uh you know that than it could if you were not renting out areas

get to know as many people with uh with large boats as possible because you wind up trading a lot of materials and paints and and tools and and knowledge
