I'm trying to figure out if it is worthwhile to restore and build an outboard Doral or El Pesc.

Granted it's only worth what it's worth to me, but I sell my boats every couple of years until I find the perfect boat, (and there is the joke of it).
I'm about to pull the trigger on the brown and orange Doral. It was last rigged with outboards and a pair of good 1995, 175 HP Mercs just fell into my lap.
And What my question reall is, is Will I be able to get the $10k back out of this boat that it cost me to build if I go to sell it in a year or 2?

I'm also considering pulling out the deck and windshield mold and making it into a El Pesc clone.

And spraying it any color besides brown.

Any ideas?
Evan

I took another look at the hull and decided to run away from the project.
