That restore will be at least 100k and if you think I'm crazy I had an 1981 39 cig that I had 200K in restoring. Then realized I wanted a twin step and am glad I did, great ride and less power to go fast.
I can't affoard old school boats... 100 thousand dollars a season to go fast. This is a realistic cost with old technology.
Thats why mine is staying old school, and slow.. not worth dumping a ton in a older boat unless you never get rid of it, that 81 was nicie, I remember it.
