[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 134543, member: 55"] For me, a deal breaker (provided the hull is one I wanted), is a) whether or not I am capable of doing the repairs, and b) whether or not, after the repairs are done, I came out ahead of buying a rig without needing repairs. Getting a boat that needs a little work, but after said work is done, you are still hundreds less than buying a comparable boat needing work is the way to go (I'm talking repairs, not mods - it is hard, if not impossible to get back money spent on mods, as we all have our own ideas of the perfect boat). If after I do the repairs, I am no better off than buying a different one, I pass. The key is to know what you are comfortable fixing, and the approximate time and cost incurred for said repair. Experience is the best teacher, so the first few boats will be hard to judge without tearing into it, but afterwards, 'tis no sweat. [/QUOTE]
