Tim,The boat is docked at Danversport marina in Danvers MA. You are welcome to take a look at it anytime. I think I’ve seen your boat up in Amesbury while working up there. Is yours in the water?

Re: '63 34 project progress
Without the top, these classics could pass as brand new modern day boats!

(Krush, great to see you around!)
Point is well taken; these are great hulls and systems—smart move if you are up for the renovation.
Krush, would love to see you updat and modernize yours—you have a pretty deep background on these...’glass that flybridge and show us how it’s done!

Re: '63 34 project progress
the "problem" with these restomods of the smaller boats .. is ... what the market will bear ..... I figure I'll be into mine for 40-50k and it will be a really nice boat... as a gasser... diesels add's 50-100 plus ... and the market at the number becomes very very narrow... (100- `150)... To many options at that price point .. so likely mine will stay a gasser

You don't do it for the resale, you do it because you get a sweet boat that new would be 600-1mil that is built more sturdy. Look what a new Back Cove costs.

Re: '63 34 project progress
I did some warranty work on a black cove. Nice looking Nd laid out well. It had an oil leak (no big deal) from a fitting and a bad elci I put breaker. The inverter system was crap and problematic but after resetting a few times seems to work.
It was nice to work on a new boat for once. I was almost clean when I finishedScott

Re: '63 34 project progress
Figured I would give an update... had a great season even though boat didn't get in till Aug. 14. Managed to buy about a 160 hours on her. Great boat, no issues and handled some rough stuff very well.
