Hi
I am new to the forum, I have been looking at a 1980 60’ Lien Hwa flush deck trawler on and off for a couple of years , the boat has the typical teak deck issues/dryrot and problems with the tanks and is in desperate need a cosmetic remodel,has the 8v92 with a dry stack,I an not crazy about the dry stack system and would want to run under water exhaust ,I really like the lines on the Lien Hwa, more so than a hatteras, my concerns are even if I can buy the lien hwa For substantially less would I better off paying more for a comparable Hatteras being that the cost to renovate is basically the same ? It seems the hatteras yachts are built like tanks and just have a better resale value , I guess what I am trying to get advice on is am I better off having $200k into a 60’ lien hwa refit the way I want or $300k into a 60’ hatteras refit the way I want ,both being the same power,vintage and style of yacht...which really is a better investment?
