SAY AGAIN?
How much does it cost to restore an old boat?  Chip Ford — who is in the fifth year of restoring a 1974 Catalina 22 in Marblehead, Massachusetts — appears to be a glutton for punishment.  Not only does he want to know exactly how much it costs, but he's gone through the painful step of creating a Web site, www.chipford.com/cost.htm, to document every last penny spent on his boat.  It's a sobering display that we probably shouldn't even be telling you about.  All we ask is that you don't let it discourage you from tackling your next project.
