How about
2 New Batteries, Electronics, T-Top, Rod holders, Leaning Post, 2 New Bilge pumps, New Gas tank, Trailer, Trim Tabs, Boat lights, Flood lights, Live bait Plumbing and pump, Fresh water washdown, Rub Rail, Plus all the Beer you will drink while you put all this together. When I did my boat I had a ruff estimate of $20,000 to $22,000 and it cost me $32,000.
Please don’t misunderstand me. All this $$$$ info is not to discourage you but to inform you of one fundamental truth.
To do a project boat is not to have a cool boat for a really cheep price. It is just to have a Really Cool Boat…………Period.
If you want the best deal on a boat for a reasonable price. Then I always recommend looking at a 2-5 year old boat that has been kept in dry storage with a owner who is making payments on and never uses the thing. That boat is in excellent shape and you can pick it up for 80 to 60 % of new WITH NO WORK. Think of all that BEER money you would have saved.
Doing a project boat is only for truly SICK PEOPLE which have a incurable disease. putting 1/3 more money into a project KNOWING full well that NO ONE will ever give you as much as what you put in it IF YOU WOULD EVER SELL you got to be either crazy or sick.
JUST LOOK HOW SICK I AM.
