I agree with restoring "legacy" beach cats is generally a losing proposition, at least money wise. The old adage, "The sum of the parts is greater than the whole" really applies. I've restored 3 G-Cats over the years, one 5.0 and two 5.7s and sold them all for a loss. But I had fun doing it, learned things and sailed them. My current boat, a 5.0 I bought for 2K in 2018 and it was freshwater sailed for a good portion of it's life. I replaced the sails, tramps and lots of other stuff and have over 4K invested. I'll probably sell it within a year and judging by today's market will be lucky to get what I paid for it. But I had a great time sailing it and I'll have the satisfaction of knowing whoever winds up with it will get a boat that sails like it's new.[/quote]
