I mentioned this book by Keith Carver a couple of years ago but “Sailboat Cowboys Flipping Sail Post-Sandy: The Art of Buying, Repairing and Selling Storm-Damaged Sailboats” is still an excellent read on the subject of buying boats cheap, fixing them up, and selling them for a profit.
As it happens I just read it again this morning and it still holds up well and the advice contained within is still spot on.
Better yet, it’s a great book to use as proof of concept when someone is telling you a cheap fixer-upper is nothing but a money pit and your dreams will all in tears.
Just tell them to go read “Sailboat Cowboys Flipping Sail Post-Sandy: The Art of Buying, Repairing and Selling Storm-Damaged Sailboats” and let you get back to working on your DIY refit.
Thanks for the reccomendation, it ended up being the first real use of my Kindle. Great book, and it's convinced me that the Kindle is my friend.
