Been here done this on a Cafe all labor on me stripped it to bare hull repainted it and reassembled. Fresh motors drives engine hatch ect. It always goes above planned budget that is with out question. I had 540 tall decks full steering updated dash ect. It's a lot if work and money. If you have access to a machine shop some parts are non existent so that is you only option. The cabin door latch is one thing that comes to mind.

ya i have access to a full machine shop. family friend owns one of the biggest machine shops in the area. ya, my budget is getting stretched atm. not going to stay with in my initial plan but a little extra should get it all done. prepping for paint as we speak. about a week to get all the sanding and prep work done, then HOPEFULLY in paint the week after. mean while im getting the motors stripped down for paint. trying to decide what i want to do for the dash. was going to do livorsi, but looking for just some white faced gauges if anyone has them for sale! and sydwayz, yes i know its possible for that to happen... though with a truck as tall as mine, a 2'' drop hitch which you posted will not let the boat ride level... im learning a ton and not trying to teach. btw.

What are you using for paint/primer/clear? If the boat is already "sold" how can you change plans. Isn't the owner / buyer expecting 1 thing and you deliever another? Seems a bit fuzzy to me on exacally what is going to happen. If it's your boat to keep then change of mind happens along the way all the time. But if your budget it now ashes and you agreed to a certain offering and you don't follow threw do to under estimating the build that would not be on the buyer. Not kicking your nuts in just in wonderment here.
