Big B,
Please understand the depth of knowledge from which Avid speaks.
Consider working 50-70 hour weeks running your own shop. Busting your chops, wishing you could get on the water while you listen to those same "old timers" whine cause you don't have the same bait they used to use in '52.
Jumping into your own business takes much, much more than money or "want" !! A little experience goes a long way, and working your way into the business is the best way to start.
Many, Many people have had DREAMS of their own shop. "Wouldn't it be nice" It's never as sweet as it might seem, and you shold smell some of the crap that goes along with it before you pick the flowers.
