Hi Dan,
You have a classic but you do not need to do a full restoration. She
is definitely worth maintaining in a seaworthy condition for the next
term, say another forty years.
How much did you plan to spend each year on the total of maintenance,
operating & upgrades?
Cheers, Russ

Hello all
so my dad gave me this boat and its in ok shape it's been out of
the water for five years and needs to be updated
I am pretty sure I'm on top of it
I sailed this boat with my dad during my early teens and know the
boat a bit but..now I'm 43 and getting back into it big time etc so
I can take my family out
I just had a survey done and the hull is solid but a few parts of
the deck are wet
Although there is no delamination I know I need to fix this
There is a universal diesel m18 from 86 that is in great shape but
its been sitting for 5 yrs winterized well fuel in tank etc
I am updating the head with holding tank etc
2 New marine batteries the wiring is all mostly in good shape
My biggest question to you all is it worth it to restore an older boat?
I don't want my fond memories of sailing this boat to cloud my
judgement on the restoration
Are older boats worth the trouble?
New to the list
