No
No
And a big No
No money to made restoring boats .. As stated by F F
Only way is to have donor boats use what u need and sell off the rest
I did a lot of it .. There's a reason I stopped

Phil, you should have bought a MISTRESS . They ride much better than the cafe, 38 flatdeck and top gun. Amazingly apache like solid ride

He got to telling me about his mistress (which I never asked about) and how it rides better than 38 Cigs and more like an apache. And how 90mph boats can't touch him on Lake Erie

Ok, this is getting out of hand guys.. This is just a general reply I don't have time to answer people specifically.
I know exactly what I'm in this build at and it's no where near what anyone says I'm at. Just a quick answer in regards to man hours.. If I had hired hands yes I would account for man hours, but seeing how it's only me.. Whatever my sale price is minus my bottom line cost is, equals profit on that boat. But it's a write off business, anyone who owns businesses knows you have one business to pay the bills and one for expenses. All of my fuel is a write off, my shop rent? Write off, fuel in the boat to go boating,m... Write off because I'm advertising the business. Now get off my dick FF and offshore exscursion. Call it illegal but everyone does it. Every poker run I want to do is a business expense. In regards to what I do, it's none of anyone's business, I've been fortunate to have made good money mowing lawns for the last 10 years. In a LEGAL business. The only part my father has in my boat is coming to Long Island to buy it with me. Ya maybe a few bucks here or there but if your going to say daddy's money your foolish. But hey I've been dealing with it for a while. I posted an ASKING price because if I didn't post a price i would have had to have my email blowing up with this bull ****. Yup, I was over zealous saying how quick I could do this in the beginning. I think I've proved a lot of people wrong on my skills of what I can do. If I still haven't convinced you then I welcome you to see the boat at the shoot out.
Also, this is a forum... It is filled with finatics, mechanics, do it yourselfers.. Not everyone who owns a powerboat is on this forum. People who pay top dollar for boats like these just to enjoy them to turn the key and crush waves and turn heads and put it back on the lift. They don't give a damn about what size pully there is or what pitch prop. Or who did the damn interior if it was a small shop or XT.. Ok not everyone but a lot of people really don't care.. Just like cars... How come a low miles corvette with some look good parts from a dealer is worth arms more than a molested vette with huge cams, lifters spray etc. Because most people want something to just use and not **** with. But this is a forum so everyone on here likes to screw with their stiff. We like to change, modify etc. So what someone is willing to pay for a clean mostly original low hour cafe and what you guys think it's worth are two different things. I have and will continue to learn and appreciate all the opinions and tips from you guys it's helped more than most can imagine. I have made awesome connections with people willing to help like Dustin and Tim. This is my first boat, on my own under my name just wait till the next ones. If you think that I can't turn a profit, then so be it, I know that my bottom line I could give the boat away and break even. And FF your just dumb if you think im going to publicly advertise my bottom line and then what I want for it? That's selling 101 bud. And no I'm not keeping the boat because I get bored I like to change it up and try new boats and toys. Ya I'm a young kid with cool stuff I know there's people that don't understand how or don't like it. Most 20 year olds are out partying when others are partying I'm in my shop working. But damn guys you gotta let it go. And ya as to the interior the stripes are a little wider than the seat and I'm not happy about it I'm not using at the lake upholstery anymore. Yes the trailer is getting painted I just haven't gotten to it yet. Yes the carpet is snap in as we'll as new carpet in the cabin. And as for the cabin interior it's mint, personally I think it's rad that's it's all original and how many people actually use the cabin enough to want it totally redone? Nothing's moldy or stained it's rad. Yes you can find more boat for the money sure. Some people won't buy my boat cause they think I'm clueless. I'm not advertising a project nor selling one. But thanks. Of I wanted to swap motors and drives into a different hull and have someone do my interior and call myself a boat builder id change my name to FF

I need to mow lawns apparently, cuz fixing boats can't buy me **** like that. And I don't have time to have a "write off business" hell, I don't make enough to live and do all the things your talking about writing off. If you make that much mowing lawns I want in.

And as far as my boat? I bought a clean hull that didn't need paint, used engines from my Baja THAT I BUILT myself... Had a real interior place do my FLAWLESS interior (my stripes match) and now have another set of engines that I did from heads up and will refresh the shortblocks myself when needed I didn't pay someone to rig my boat like you... I can paint and have been since I was a kid but my boat has 29 year old gel that looks great so why paint it? I do way more things myself then you have so far so again you don't know me kid... You couldn't even get te boat running without paying Tim.... Enough said 👍. I am happy with mine and don't plan to sell it so I'm good!! You won't post numbers because it would show most of us right but that's ok the people with experience know what the outcome will be....
And I thought you had it sold for 60,000??? Oh ya.... That was bs right from the start!!
