Are old Fiberglass boats worth refurbishing and preserving, even the best of them??
It's easy to understand preservation of classic timber yachts, an old Fife could theoretically live for hundreds of years, to increasing acclaim. What sort of claim can made for fiberglass? Even the best usually have indifferent craftsmanship under the covering boards and head liners. Will the hull/deck last for more than a few decades? In other words do the returns inevitably diminish to zero?
I would really appreciate a believable justification having recently spent a lot of time, effort, etc doing all of the above.
