[Alberg30] Request for Purchasing Advice

[Gary Barker]

I was looking for a year for a Triton, until I took a look at an A30.  
The larger space, more substantial feel and similar classic lines 
really spoke to me.  Unlike some of the folks here, I think that 
restoration is a source of pride, a deeper knowledge of the boat and 
training for owning an older classic.  The site that really makes sense 
about restoration is www.glissando381.com .  Tim Lackey has completely 
restored a Triton and has many of the improvements that I am trying to 
make in my A30.  Right now, I am redoing the toe rail, glassing the 
deck hull joint and making a bulwark after sanding and redoing the 
non-skid and deck paint.  I bought hull #307 Il Molino last summer and 
have spent the fall and winter planning and learning.  It wasn't in bad 
cruising condition, but there were/are always improvements that can be 
done.  I have Spent about $8000 on the purchase, transportation and 
materials.  Time.. I don't factor in as an expense.  I figure it is 
continuing education and well worth it.  For pictures of a boat that 
sold for $6800, please feel free to email me at eyewander at prexar.com

Good hunting,
Gary Barker
