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.

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
