I feel your pain. I used to comment to the Admiral things like, "This is a two trip West Marine job" or a 3 trip or a 4,5, etc. (no Hamiltons in Friday Harbor). There are NO one trip or no trip jobs on a boat. I'm a professional at walking the hardware aisles looking for some 'thing' that I can re-purpose for a boat project. Old(er) boats just compound the problem. Hang in there, the results will be worth it!
