Everything that I tried to reuse on my last resto ended up being the weak links and slowing me down. In every case I ended up getting new parts. I would always go into something like this assuming that nothing at all can be reused and you only get a hull. That's the most expensive way to buy a boat that you can, but then again... it's the cost of turning back time. And having something that nobody can just go buy. :cheers2:
