Doesnt look like it would be fun getting it into your average boat landing ..Wonder how much water it has to be in so as not to rip the Foils off ?

I would think $5000 would be cheap. given what it would be worth restored. Not a lot of those around. I should e-mail my client in Houston and tell him that is the fee for my next job........
