Repair/Restoration Costs vs. Benefits

[ocuyler]

Block Island Guy,

Welcome to CSC. I can certainly appreciate your perspective, and you are absolutely correct. You obviously have not been bitten by the "SeaCraft Bug", a hidious affliction that robs you of time and money and perhaps even relationships. But this is, in fact, a site for those that have been, will be or want to be.

I have to agree with Strick that, although I am first and foremost, a boater, I absolutely love to work on boats. Further, I personaly feel that the SeaCraft hull is the best hull design in it's class and has been since the early 1960's when Carl Moesly won a zillion Miami to Bahamas races in the very same hull design.

In a nut shell, you've got to WANT to do this stuff. It doesn't matter what motivates you (cruising, fishing or renovation), because, at the end of the project, you got a the best boat you could have - and you did it!

Best of luck with your choices.
