If one were to find a "fixer upper" and planned on doing a full overhaul, what do you think the price would be? Specifically, I'm thinking of the replacement of:
1) All tramps, wings etc.
2) Sails
3) All new rope
4) Standing rigging (?)
5) What other high wear items?
Being new, I'm trying to count the costs - guessing somewhere around $2K and am looking at options.

Hobie Getaway Shroud - $100 set
Hobie Getaway Mainsail H Resort (Seabreeze) - $1,375.00
Getaway Jib (Turqouise) $370.00 -
wing tramps - 160
running rigging - $138.00 ( https://www.saltydogmarine.com/product_info.php?cPath=421&products_id=4318&osCsid=d1fd6ea946d59a7ca12b4ca09f969904)
= about $34000
In my area I can find them for around 4K ready to sail so I’d be hesitant to sink $3,500 into a rehab. Rudder systems and main and jib blocks can also be worn out on a rehab boat and that stuff isn’t cheap
Yeah- so, basically you need to basically get a free boat in order to justify duping that kind of money into it...
Huh. There's a quick life lesson.
Thanks.
Depends on how you want to take your medicine, brand name or generic. I can deliver front & rear tramps & wing tramps for $700 in black mesh. Shrouds & forestay for $160. Sails for $1400. Pete
