23' Savage

[Dave Hirshberg]

Edloh,
Buy a boat based on what you want not what you think you're going to get out of it when you are done. Trust me. You aren't going to make any money when you sell it wheather it a Centerconsole, Savage, or Sceptre. You may break even on materials but forget about labor. I've been in the business a long time and have restored multiple boats. The one in the picture was bought for $1000 with a running motor. Needless to say I had over $15k in it when I sold it not counting the labor. It sold for 12K. I wanted a Sceptre and bought a sceptre because thats what I needed and I don't regret it a bit. In fact I'd buy it back today for what I sold it for if I could. But only because I know how it was restored. The satisfaction of owning a classic comes from the restoration process itself, not the return on investment. Be pre-warned it will likely cost you double what you think it will.
