Funny, I have such a different perspective on this discussion than I had even a year ago. This spring we bought a new-to-us 1996 boat in generally very good shape. The previous boat was also a generally good boat for its age, but it was a 1983 Carver. I like working on boats a lot, and to my surprise my to-do list for the newer boat is just as long as the old boat - but if I had my choice, I sure prefer the tasks now, like upgrading all the cabin lights to LED, instead of re-gluing the v-berth headliner monkey fur because it was starting to sag. There's boat work, and then there's boat work.
