Probably not. From what I see, they cared more about getting the outside looking good with little notice to the important parts. The drives have peeling paint and it kinda' looks like they painted around everything on the transom. The upholstery is amateurish $hit. The front tank most likely needs replacing and who knows whether or not the transom is any good- 50/50 would probably be generous. Oh, yeah- that trailer isn't road-worthy with that much boat on it. If you paid 50 for it you'd be another $100K deep in it to make it right. Or more. The $59K short-stagger in the classifeds would be a better starting point.
Look at it this way- you could buy a ready-to-go 41 w/ strong engines & 6's for less than it's going to cost you to get that boat in shape. You could by the KID/Lynch Mob 45 for where you'll finally end up if you made it Apache-nice.
They put little attention into anything else- that leads me to believe they put little attention into prep before they laid that pretty paint on the sides. No matter how nice it it, if it starts peeling or if the cracks it's hiding start to pop, where are you then.

I tried and tried and tried to get RHC to spill his guts, but the man, as he should, keeps his word when he says he will.
Just so you're aware Commanche, you're killing us over here!
