Restoration VS replacement

WeLoveTheLake · 05-18-2020, 02:29 PM

I most probably would not, could not afford to buy the boats I like new.
Such as Grady White, Boston Whaler, Cobalt etc.
Not to mention the fact that, all boats lose big value as soon as you put them in the water.

I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount to restore a Grady White, as long as it does
not have to be re powered at the same time and would not pay a dime to have a Bayliner or Glastron restored.. Not worth it.

So far, buying an ~10 year old, solid boat with a solid hull, with some minor cosmetic issues have been working great for me.
