How far makes sense when one is wanting to sell a boat? We are in the middle of a total refit, but have changed our plans and want to sell. Boat is 40', good boat, well-known name. This boat needs refrigeration, lifelines need to be replaced, bilge needs re-paint, the water tanks we would not think of drinking out of, the electronics are outdated... Interior is pretty nice. The boat is ready for the hull paint, which at this point could be any color anybody wanted. Same for boot stripe, bottom paint. The dodger needs to be replaced as well -- do we do that, or let the next owners pick their design and canvas color? (There is a new Mack Pack, and some other canvas already done, in a neutral color, and hull paint purchased, not white though! Kind of a light sand--). I guess the question is, when you're burned out on a boat, do you just sell it as is or do you fix it up? Or stop at what point in between? I'm well aware that all the time and money we put into completing this boat we won't see in equal dollars, unless we make it really, really spiffy and somebody who has exactly our taste as well as lots of money comes along.... which seems unlikely. But then again, not everybody wants a "project boat." Should we put it up for sale and add $200 to the sale price every day, as we continue to work? That's not an actual for-real question, but it's kind of the way I see it....
