[quote=cougarmarkIV][quote=svanlare]I bought one of the low-cost old boats, and made the assumption that I was going to have a few surprises and spend a good deal more getting it fixed up than what I paid for it. That all ended up true but I had budgeted for it and am very happy with the boat I ended up with.
I completely agree with rigging to make sure everything is there and what shape it is in. I thoroughly wish I had brought a camera; when I tried to rig it after getting it home I had a number of questions I was stuck on for a while.[/quote]
I was one of the lucky ones, after my first voyage not 1 drop in my 39 year old hulls. Although, I suppose fixing some small leaks would have been easier that stripping and painting all this wood, but for $800.00 I'm not complaining! 8-)
