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 :) Joe Della Barba j...@dellabarba.com <mailto:j...@dellabarba.com> COQUINA C&C 35 MK I From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Josh Muckley Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2014 9:26 AM To: C&C List Subject: Re: Stus-List 1970 C + C 31ft Corvette 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.

I don't want my fond memories of sailing this boat to cloud my judgement on the restoration Are older boats worth the trouble?
