Default Re: Water in hull

Water weighs 8.33 lbs per gal. that means you would have approx 100 gal of water in this boat almost two 55 gal drums. That is highly unlikely, there is no where and no way you could hide 100 gal. in a 19 foot boat. As far as worth it do you want it bad enough to spend the time and money to fix her up. Usually it will take twice the time and twice the cost you think it will to get a project boat back to your intended quality margin. On my boat I figured 6-8 months took me over a year. I bought the boat for $4,000 and finished it out the door for $32,000. So do you want it bad enough???
