Thanx for the input guys, so you're saying the fifty bucks in my pocket wont get me very far
well then how bout a full restore for a crisp $100!!!
all kidding aside the boat "looks" great but has fallen victim to a soft deck in spots and the transom is getting, well, very iffy to say the least. People actually cant believe its a '72. Maybe i can sort out the want/need factor and come up with a happy medium. I'll sleep on it this weekend. Thanks again for all replies. BOAT:Break Out Another Thousand
