Re: What do you guys think?
The trick with project boats is that you want to buy them for as little as possible. Unless of course it is a model that is rare or a model that you are really after. Just because of the fact that you never know what you are going to run into once you get started. Especially with older glass boats.
For instance, late last fall I bought a 1988 Alumacraft Classic 16 as a project, paid much more than I really wanted to but it was what I was looking for and in the condition I was looking for it also included a whole bunch of expensive goodies that I would have added anyways.
So if you are truely looking for a project boat and this is the type hull you want and the money isn't an issue then buy it. But if it's that it looks cool and might be fun to do then I suggest thinking long and hard. I am seeing more often on craigslist boats that someone bought to rebuild then lost interest or didn't realize what they were getting into and are unfinished.
Advantage here is that it is a complete boat, says to run and looks like there is current or recent registration on it.
