Default 23' I/O Jack Shaft 1983- Should I restore or sell

Hi,

I have a 1983 23' CC I/O with a jack shaft. The boat is in great shape, it has always been trailered and was owned by a boat yard owner. I bought it last summer and used it quite a bit. The engine ran great, but the outdrive now hasa a lot of corrosion as I did not use any zinc tabs (stupid but I did not know any better). Anyway, everyone I speak to says that the hull is in excellent shape and I should consider restoring (expensive). Any suggestions, do I sell it and buy new boat, or spend a fortune to repower, redo the decks and pretty it up?

Thanks,

John
