Re: Some Advice please from a Newbie

I may be about to be corrected, but I doubt it.
A very ballpark figure is almost impossible to come up with because there are so many variables. You need to take into account things like availability and choice of materials, your own abilities, how many other things are going to need replacing. Very deep pockets or a large source of raw material and plenty of skills already up your sleeve would be a good starter, but my advice would be to not even start thinking about the cost element. You could get away with doing it on a very tight budget but the chances are it's going to take more than you even want to think about. Boat renovation isn't something you want to think about budgeting for unless you have loads of spare cash
But don't let me put you off, a 35 footer would do me nicely at the moment, with, or without repair work being needed.
