The interest on the forum seemed high with many praising the boat in what appeared like an acceptable price. Would the maths here be $80K upgrades + $50K value of the boat = 130K? I wouldn't think anyone would get back a dollar for dollar spent on upgrades.
Asking price and selling price are often distant cousins. Proceed with caution. You do not need this boat, you want this boat.

I wouldn't buy this boat not even for 60k .
Doesn't matter how good the repair on the bow is , the will be always weaker than it was at the begining and this compromises your rigging integrity, just run away and find another boat with less issues .
