Hi there,<br />I'm thinking of buying a wooden boat to restore it and enjoy on a lake. I have not done this before, so I hope to find some advice from people who have been there and have done this.<br /><br />Here is a boat I'm looking at<br /><br />Auction at EBay<br /><br />It's dirt cheap, because it is in no seaworthy condition. What would you recommend to look for? Should I try to find a boat builder and hire him to inspect it before purchase? Where would you look for the right boat builder?<br /><br />How much effort would you estimate to restore a boat of this size from ground up? How much expenses in parts would you estimate?<br /><br />Thanks for your insight<br /><br />Kaj
