This is not a random old boat - this is his father's boat. The boat also
does not seem to have major issues.

I would give a huge YES to this project as well! If all goes well my son
will be the third owner of Coquina so I can say it is a special treat to
teach your kid(s) to sail on the same boat you grew up on :)

Kinda like older cars, it depends on how long you plan to hold on to it.  2
or 3 years probably not worth the hassle or investment of time and money.
10 or 20 probably.  Besides, could you afford or justify a NEW boat?  If
not, then you are still just getting a used boat and someone else's
problems.  Buying used is almost always a compromise between value and
hassles.  I can usually deal with hassles.

Hello all
so my dad gave me this boat  and its in ok shape it's been out of the water
for five years and needs to be updated
I am pretty sure I'm on top of it
I sailed this boat with my dad during my early teens and know the boat a bit
but..now I'm 43 and getting back into it big time etc so I can take my
family out

I just had a survey done and the hull is solid but a few parts of the deck
are wet
Although there is no delamination I know I need to fix this
There is a universal diesel m18 from 86 that is in great shape but its been
sitting for 5 yrs winterized well fuel in tank etc

I am updating the head with holding tank  etc
2 New marine batteries  the wiring is all mostly in good shape
My biggest question to you all  is it worth it to restore an older boat?
I don't want my fond memories of sailing this boat to cloud my judgement on
the restoration
Are older boats worth the trouble?
New to the list

C & C corvette 31
