Same or original

[ridnm]

My husband and I are in the process of restoring what we believe to be and 1983 MFG Gypsy 15' Tri-hull. We are debating on returning her to original or modernizing her. This is the first boat we have ever owned and would appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.

Re: Same or original

I mean this in the nicest, non-offensive way possible....... it's a dated looking tri-hull that will have a very low maximum resale even in showroom condition so do what you want with it!!!

With the bluntness out of the way, that boat looks very nice for the year and should be a great first boat for you. Good luck with it and welcome to iboats.

Re: Same or original

Thanks and no offense taken. I really need the bluntness to make the right decision.
That said, let the re-do proceed.

Re: Same or original

Your first oder of business is the engine. Check it out really good to make sure it's running top notch. You don't want to sink money into a boat and then find out you need major engine repairs too.

Good luck...and we're here for whatever comes your way (boat wise that is)
