Re: 1st Boat Restoration Need Help--1983 Hardhead
The advice given here, as already stated, comes from experience. I myself restore a boat nearly every year and sell it the following year, but I start with hulls in much better shape and don't make much money on them when I sell them, but I enjoy doing it. With that said, your hull needs so much major work all the guys here are just looking out for your wallet and the end product.
A little heated comments happens from time to time here and it's okay (to a point). Opinion are like a**holes, we all have a different one, but most of the time those opinions are there for a reason, other than "I think I'll tell this guy this or that".
If you've made up your mind as to what you want to do then go for. If you're just running things by the forum to see if it's okay or if it'll work that's fine too. Bottom line is we are all here to help with anything you run into and wheter the advice is taken or not it's still here. Once again the comments about start with a different hull, or it's not worth it are made only to help YOU.
So post the pictures and lets get this boat of yours water ready. Good Luck.
