If you can't buy a project for x dollars, you might have to pay a little more and just get started on it (cause a moderate project boat will take year minimum to finish). It's just a drop in the bucket of what it'll take to finish it. $15K will get you a 23cc that is already done. You will save money if you value your time above $5/hr.
I didn't have a lump of disposable cash, so I fixed mine as I went along. I got my 23 hull from CA 2 years ago. Cost me $3500 total for boat delivered to my door with trailer and it still needed a transom, fuel tank, console and other fiberglass work. Overall I still think it was a good deal for me. Fortunately I had practice on enough other project boats, so I could keep costs down low and I got some incredible freebies.
