The biggest issue i am running into as i refurb my 1981 J24 is from and insurance standpoint it will have about the same value no matter how much i fix it up
I have allready found that things like refinishing the mast despite the fact that the project most likely stoped it from failing from corrision did not inprove the value of the boat from and insurance standpoint
So i have to be carefull about investing into things that cant be recovered if soemthing happens to the boat
