PASS

This boat sounds like a nightmare and the perfect name for it would be "Money Pit"

Theres alot of nice boats out there that you won't have to mortgage your house to put back together.

I agree as well. PASS> You will spend more money in the long run to get it running. Small misc items cost big $$
you can eaisly dump 10,20,50K

Do you have a budget right now. We all may know or help you find somthing.

I agree on passing that one up. If the floor and bulkheads are trashed the stringers and maybe the transom are shot too. If you are not in a huge hurry you can find all kinds of good boats, but you have to be patient. Good luck!
