I would appreciate some help on this potential purchase. It's a 73 islander, non running, has sat for 16yrs and for sure needs new floors and transom. Not to mention electrical and fuel items. I/o is questionable at most and this is the second owner. It was a year old when he bought it. Trailer is the only thing that will need minimal work. The cuddy is shot interior wise, glass is so so. He is asking 2000. Yikes! But a second phone call to him he talked junkyard trip and selling trailer separately. Should I even attempt to rescue this boat, I don't want to invest more than 500 to purchase. Wishful thinking or is that about what it's worth? I don't know much about the i/o but the wood replacement and resto is no problem. I'm limited in my workspace atm, but it has sat this long and I'm in no rush. Ideas?? Comments on its value would be greatly appreciated. It's complete but really rough. Thanks Josh
