I think I'll stick with my local quotes. I picked up a 1977 CVX 16 for $1750 for the boat, 115 Evinrude and Shoreline trailer. Hull condition is excellent. No stress cracks, transom is solid as a rock and every trim piece is on the boat and in excellent condition. Orange flake job is faded on the rear and some spots on the bow area.
I'm a bit of a perfectionist, some call it anal, when it comes to my toys. I've had a quote of $1200 to prep and shoot the entire hull to make it look like a new boat again. This guy performs work on a lot of 100k and up boats and I've seen his work. Quote involves me removing everything from the boat and bringing him the hull ready to work on. Interior is pretty much shot from age so I'm going to do a complete replacement for around $1000. Have connections to get carpet and vinyl at dealer cost. Will build seat frames myself. Engine work ran me about $500.
After it's all done, I'll have a complete resto for $4500.
Thanks for the replies.
