The Corvette is a classic. If you are comfortable fixing her up and making her 
shine, go for it. If you want a fancy new(er) boat and have the $$$, go for it. 
It's your hobby and whatever winds your watch is your best bet. My Landfall 38 
is 33 years old, in pretty good shape and I've never lusted after anything else 
since I bought her 16 years ago. Your call!
