Looks like a pretty simple plywood hull. If the structure (stringers, frames, etc.) are any good, you might be able to strip it down and re-skin it. As Ned mentioned, it may only be good as a pattern boat. If it has some historical value, then someone may want it for just that. Once it is burned, it's gone. There may be that one guy who's gramps built them originally and he's looking for something tangible to remember him by and is willing to spend whatever it costs to acquire something that connects him to his heritage. I've seen it happen...
Sadly no, the internal hard wood frame work was what got the brute of the root (imagine a wooden bath tub for 30+ years). And It would be a nice thing to see it used as a pattern boat. Well I wish that I can find that person, when I do they probably won't pay much for it as I am in the business of selling.
