A good price isn't always the key. Unless you have the time, a building to work on it, and a big bank acount... there is no sense in it.
I have my older Scarab for sale with 3 year worth of work and 25 thousand later and all people want to do is take 10 off the top of the price. I guess they don't really know how much gauges and controls cost...
Word to the wise, do you research first!

I agree, I serously doubt that anyone come out ahead on a project boat unless you get it for nearly nothing, and then you would be lucky to break even.

A project boat is only good if you want a project.

I did ok with mine, although I've done ALL the work myself...

If you have to pay a shop to do the work, it makes sense to me to work overtime and adopt a payment book. You'll be on the water sooo much faster.
