So you have decided to treat yourself to a boat. You are the
do-it-yourself type and you are trying to decide between building a boat or
buying a boat. You have the time, patience and space to build a boat and you
are wondering whether to build from scratch or build from a kit. Yet those are
not the only options.
Here are some of the common options:
- Wing it without plans and build from scratch.
- Follow a set of plans and build from scratch.
- Build from a pre-cut kit.
- Buy a ready-to-go boat.
None of the options is any better than the other. All have
merit and which way to go is simply a matter of personal preference. Which
option is best for you?
Before you decide, you might want to factor in consideration
of the future. When launching or retrieving your boat, someone may ask, “Did
you build that boat?” You may feel different levels of satisfaction when
answering “Yes” compared to when answering “No.” If you answer “Yes” be
prepared for the next series of questions, “Did you build from a kit?” “Did you
use a set of plans?” What answers would grant you your desired satisfaction?
Your decision will require some introspect to determine your
personal preferences. I like to use the cookie method to provide introspect
into myself. Here is the cookie method.
I have decided to treat myself to cookies. I have the time,
patience and space to bake cookies and I am wondering whether to bake from
scratch or buy some cookies? Those are not the only options.
Here are some of the common options:
- Wing it without a recipe and bake from scratch.
- Follow a cookie recipe and bake from scratch.
- Bake them from pre-mixed batter.
- Buy ready-to-eat cookies.
None of the options is any better than the other. All have
merit and which way to go is simply a matter of personal preference.
But before I decide, I factor in consideration of the
future. When sharing the cookies, someone may ask, “Did you bake these
cookies?” I feel far different levels of satisfaction when answering “Yes”
compared to when answering “No.” If I answer “Yes” I am prepared for the next
series of questions, “Did you use pre-mixed batter?” “Did you follow a recipe?”
The answers that grant me my desired satisfaction are factored into my decision.
When I bake cookies I always bake from scratch. I have never
baked from pre-mixed batter. I have occasionally bought ready-to-eat cookies.
When I bake from scratch I usually start with a recipe but I always wing it a
bit by varying slightly from the recipe. I love it when someone asks, “Did you
make these cookies?”
When I build a boat I always build from scratch. I have
never built from pre-cut kit. I have occasionally bought ready-to-go boats.
When I build from scratch I usually start with plans but always wing it a bit
by varying slightly from the plans. I
love it when someone asks, “Did you build this boat?”
As you try to decide between building or buying a boat and
you consider the different options for building, maybe the cookie method will
also help you understand your preferences.
