Dont want this to come out the wrong way because i really look up to someone who wants to tackle a restore on one these classics. I just had a conversation with a guy trying to sell a project boat. The way these boats right are priced right now i don't understand why someone would want to restore one these boats when they can get one all ready to go with pretty decent power for the same amount of money it would cost you to restore (restore would be alot more). Resin and materials right now are at there highest price along with everything else that goes along with bringing one of these back to life. And if you are going to need to buy a new motor you will really be upside down in it. I know you probably intend to keep this boat if you are going to do this, but what if something came up and you had to sell for financial reasons? Probably would take a serious loss. To me as good as it would feel to bring a classic SC back from the dead it is a gamble right now in the market. I hope i didn't discourage you because i'm sure you have your reasons for doing this, but i would like to get some other members take on this. This is just my opinion and my opinion only.
