Amazing what guys are willing to pay for scrap. I am definitely keeping an ear to the ground, finding old hulls sounds like finding gold nuggets. Don't think there's a better investment anywhere, buy low sell high lol.

This makes for an interesting discussion. $15K for a hull and easily another $20K to restore it (assuming you pay nothing for your own time and labour)...does a carrier that is newly fabricated from the tracks up fetch $35K?

I agree Bruce. A mock up carrier is just that...
I would hazard a guess to say that $20K wouldn't even come close. Just the engine and transmission work is likely $5K alone. I haven't had any sandblasting done in a long time but even that has become very expensive, I would bet that blasting and painting would easily be another $5K.
