However, building was fun And fun is the reason to build your own boat, probably the only valid reason. If you just want to have a boat there are some excellent values in used boats right now, and I believe it is easier/cheaper/faster to refurb an older boat than to build a new one from scratch. Comments? That really depends on how much you buy into the sellers hype of how awesome it would be if it weren't junk. Seriously, unless the seller is realistic (most people aren't) and desperate they all value their boats like they were almost new and get offended when you try to talk about real value with them. Some areas are worse than others too. I know one former boat shop owner who bought into that way of thinking as well when people were selling boats. He pressure them to sell private party because they would get more money (which is true) and then gave them values based on excellent condition (as if a shop had just gone through it end to end) to expect to get for their boat. This of course benefited him in several ways over taking trades since he had limited competition in his market. |
