I did a full rebuild once....boat had 3 inches of moss growing in it when I started. I had to gut it to the bare hull.
I did everything, stringers, floor, transom, built the seats and hatch. Engine and drive and had it completely re-upholstered. This was only in a 21ft. It took me 3 years to get it done and that was when I was single and worked on it consistently.
I actually appreciate how much that boat taught me about everything from wiring to fiberglass. It took a lot more $$$ and time than I planned but I got a ton out of the experience. That being said I certainly wouldnt do it again....but if you have the ambition...I cant fault you for it.

thanks guys! gonna let my uncle know he needs to junk it.
I just needed a little more info on what could be wrong. I was just thinking a engine and some electrical and elbow grease could work.
Thank you for taking the time to explain what all bad could be with it.
The rotting and such I didn't know could happen. Ill be the first to admit I don't know. But having it explained adds to my knowledge base. Now I know these things are possible and what else to look for and think about while looking at a boat.
I wasn't trying to be smug. just wanted more knowledge.

You are assuming that the stringers, transom, and floors are not wet/soft. That's a huge assumption based on the fact that it looks like its been sitting out uncovered, and with a bilge full of water.
Add a bravo drive at $3-6k, prop at $400-500, upholstery, hatch, hatch ram/pump, trim pump/rams, all new switches, batteries, etc etc.
There's a LOT of experience that you're tapping into on this forum, and they're all telling you to punt. Take heed.

This is what i was wanting.
I didn't think about the stringers, transom, and floors being a issue, i didn't even know what that stuff was till i googled it.
but yea, i agree I'm not gonna touch it with a 10 foot pole.
