I will say this, there is something special about owning a true classic especially one that you blood sweet and tears have been poured into. Like Island T. said if you want a good running ruff sea boat there are some out there tailored to what ever needs you have but if you want something to be proud of with a rich history that is special in its own kind of way then you may join the many hunting for one of these "Holy Grails". What makes this boat special is not just its great ability to ride in ruff seas and its ride characteristics but knowing its rich history. Its true rareness and value as a true classic that survived the years of service. You can make a copy and splash one but even then you are not going to have what makes this hull special, you will just have a good riding boat. A matching numbered Camaro will always be worth more than the nicest copy you may build.

Some things are just worth the wait, and those who are patient may be rewarded one day......(I hope)
