Ridiculously long time lurker, deciding to or not to take the Restoration plunge.
 
Hey everybody, a 14 year lurker here (seems longer than that though) I am trying to decide if I want to restore my 20 Master Angler properly or send her on her way. I have owned the boat for 22 years now...... and did do a half a&*
resto/updating about 15 years ago, But it really deserves a full restoration... the boat has sat for the last 4 years.. I currently have a 35 Bertram that I am well into in the process of repowering and redoing, Which is a MASSIVE undertaking.. and a 17 ActionCraft that is for inshore/flats fishing so I don't want to have too many irons in the fire, But I cant seem to bring myself to part with my SeaCraft.....and would LOVE to fish her again!..and I know you only come this way once....and I have a very understanding Admiral at home but I'm just not sure about tackling the 2 projects simultaneously.



Life's to short to run an ugly boat!!

I will definitely keep You in mind if I do part with Her, but as of now it looks like I will be keeping the boat

Welcome brother. I love Bertram’s. My only concern would be time and money.
If budget allows I say go for it. Of course I have an unfinished Seafari 25, kitchen, motorcycle, and wood shop. But life’s defined by unfinished projects.
