Oh no, not at all! It's worth the investment. I'm looking at re-powering, that's how I know that cost.....ouch! Go to the for sale section, EricB has a 23' Secptre fully restored with new power to get an idea what can be done. I know quite well what new boats cost, that's why I keep working on mine.
I asked Paul Knoop who owns Family Boating Center in Tampa, I bought a new boat from 23 years ago when he was just getting started, how do people afford $110,000+ for a new decked out 25' big name brand bay boat? He said they don't care about the cost, all they care about is "how much a month!"
