Replies 9 and 10, among others, seem like a really good way to view this. The basic FRP construction will likely last another 40 years. Or, a lot longer
Most of the time a "classic" boat design, whether a vintage runabout with a flathead engine, or an older sailboat design, is attractive the way (sort of) that a 50's sports car or a 40's light airplane might be...... a little bit like falling in love... !
If you have the budget and family consent, or at least informed agreement, go for it.
And no, I do not have the $$ for a sports car, and a plane will be forever out of reach. We did just use our pandemic year to do a full re-fit of our boat, tho.
Next, we hope the Canadian border will open up for some more cruising, at least by by 2022.
Remember the old saying about being "all dressed up and no place to go"? Now, it's "all vaccinated and nowhere to sail"........ (sigh)
ps: just read the ad and scrolled the photos. The low hour engine is almost worth the asking price. That's a nicely equipped boat. IF it's the style and 'look' that you want.
It's all personal:
Some folks like a decent microbrew Lager and others have to have an IPA that will curl their hair!
They are both 'right'.......
