Rick is probably right about the value of the hull. Replacing the deck is a major renovation. If the transom is bad, that's a pile of work too.

So in addition to asking what the hull is worth, ask yourself if you have the time and skills for a restoration of this magnitude, or the cash to pay someone else to do the work. Unless it's going to be a labor of love, you may not want to get involved. Return on investment will be in the negative numbers cash-wise, so the return has to be enjoyment of the boat, or pride in the restoration.
