I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount to restore a Grady White, as long as it does
not have to be re powered at the same time and would not pay a dime to have a Bayliner or Glastron restored.. Not worth it.
So far, buying an ~10 year old, solid boat with a solid hull, with some minor cosmetic issues have been working great for me.

Agreed- we have a 2001 Wellcraft Excalibur 26 bowrider for the lake and an 88 Tiara 2700 Open for the Ocean. Both are worthy of updating as needed!
