Wow! Sounds like an awesome system!
We have a saying for this kind of thing in my family though... "The Free Boat".
My dad got a boat for free once and was pretty excited. Before we could use it though, the paint had to be stripped off and repainted, had to put in new wood for the seats as they were splintering, put new wood edging around the outside as it was coming apart, and of course he had to buy a motor for it!!
So finally, lots of $$$ later, we got to use the "free" boat.
