Re: help estimating cost of demasted 44 ft mono seaworthy after a demasting ( hurrica

That is a 32 year old boaty -with a 32 year old engine full of 32 year old everything you could easily spend 60k on her updating even if it has not been dismasted and banged up badly in a major hurricane --what if the rudder in bent and needs replacing??????? etc etc You should look for a far newer hurricane busted boat if that is your" bent"

Lots of nice boats to chose from as SH has detailed in his posts!
YEP - I just spent 65k over 3 years to fix up a 34 YO sailboat which I bought for 69k -- health went bad and I sold it for 84k which means lost 50k and that's not counting dock and travel costs......plus there is still work to be done on the boaty-------I bought it because I liked the design and it had a recent re-engine and generator......most problems were due to age and neglect---- so don't buy a complex boat more than 15years old.
