Cost of SeaCraft Seafari Total Restoration

[erebus]

The previous owner of my 1979 23 Seacraft Sceptre got a quote from Metan for a full restoration in 2012.

Quote, if I recall was around $80K NOT including a new motor.
The boat was in pretty good shape at the time. Had a bracket already and the floors and transom were already done.

Previous owner figured he'd be into it for about $100-110K when all was said and done.
He re-powered it with an Etec instead and ran it for a few years as it was.
He sold it to me about three years ago and bought himself a nice 26' Regulator for $80K.
I did the transom and some misc stuff and have been running it ever since.

In my experience Metan does beautiful high quality work, but they'll want all the money for it.

I have the paperwork and quote and can scan it and post it if anybody's interested in what $80K gets you at Metan.
