Don't worry about refurbishing the interior of one that has a good hull. I've done a few and it's not hard. Lots of good info here www.tinboats.net

I'll be redoing my 99 Fisher this winter to upgrade it to how I want. It's a lot of fun to do and the kids enjoy helping out too.

Beware of any old man in a profession where one usually dies young.

Calm seas don't make sailors.
