bloody hell. you paid for that?
an engine will cost you a few hundred. The engine drive will cost you a few hundred. the engine controls will be a few hundred. replacing the floor will cost you a few hundred. fbireglass and resin will cost you hundreds. Youd need a few grand to fix that! There is no way you will find replacement windows so youll have to get them custom made!
any value of that will be in the trailer which seems to be completely the wrong size for the boat! Seriously get it the entire thing checked out! Its bound to be rotten if there is any wood! I spent £470 on my speedboat and £1000 on replacing the floor and fixing it and bear in mind that its only 15 foot! To fix that id say you were looking at 5k+ and even then it wont be great D: Sorry to put a downer on that but i wouldnt touch it with a barge pole. Both literally and metaphorically!
this is what mine looked like... once i had removed all the rotten wood. seriously if there are any soft patches or dark/black wood then it definitely needs replacing and probably a few feet around it too!

once you get to this stage then its just the beginning of putting things in!

and then there is carpeting and leather which is expensive too D:
and then youve got inevitable engine problems!

and after all that it will hopefully be worth it

so yeh that cost me about £1500 to buy and fix which is a bargain. Took me a summer to do which was mostly stripping the rotten stuff out and drying it all out! And fuel... i get through £150 in a weekend. In a yacht which is pushing the same amount of water as this will be then a 30 mile trip will probably cost £100+
