[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 413387, member: 7376"] Say you put $1500 into it. It's then, say, a $3000 boat. Can you buy a newer or better one for $3000? That is usually the question I have to ask myself when trying to decide whether to fix or replace. Sometimes it's cheaper in the long run to just fix what you have. Of course that explains why I'm still driving a Mustang with 321,000 miles on it. I'm cheap. And lastly, do you have any attachment to the boat you have now? I know some folks who are really attached to certain things, even as bad of shape that those things are, they still keep and fix it. I want to tell them to junk it but if they don't want to you cant change their mind. Also explains why I still have my old Ford Maverick. Why on earth would anyone want such an ugly pile of feces? Because my daddy and I built it together....it'll go the grave with me for that reason, even if it's nothing but a pile of rust by then. [/QUOTE]
