This can vary wildly depending on what you are starting with and the level of finish you want to achieve.
You mentioned the 23 needs a floor and transom . . . if it's that far gone you'll almost definitely need to replace the fuel tank, fuel tank supports, and recore the gunnel cap. Some folks have removed all the foam from the stringers too, but I personally think it's not necessary unless they are totally soaked (pretty rare)
fuel tank ($1000) including all the hoses.
fuel tank support ($ 600 - $1000+)
$130 pail of poly or $400 epoxy (4 -5 gallons of resin)
$100 core (1/2 marine ply)
$50 approx 5 yards of fabric
$250 in grinding discs, sawsall blades, acetone, paper towels, gloves, brushes,
cabosil, mixing cups, 5200, saw blades, rollers, roller handles, trays, plastic,
spreaders, mixing sticks, razor blades, chisels,
$100 for bilge paint
Battery support area is gonna be shot (another 2 to 3 gallons of resin, + core + fabric) or just cut them out.
Transom $1000 - $2500
Depends what you use for Core material (penske, coosa, marine ply)
approx 10 gallons of resin (poly or epoxy)
Floor $1000 - $3000
Entire floor not including front deck? + hatches recored?
Gunnel Cap Recore $1000 (not including boat jewelry)
So approx 4-5K on the cheap for marine ply splatter finish (transom, floor with a new fuel tank and tank support)
and approx 7500K+ to make it look factory using composites (no wood + epoxy + vacuum bagging)
Then:
complete wiring job $1000 - $2000 (includes bilge pumps, wash down, switches, breakers, batteries)
Painting $1000 - $2000 for awlgrip or awlcraft 2000.
New Rubrail $400 - $1000
Boat jewelry Popup cleats and lights. $600 - $2000
Trailer?
Engine?
Rigging? Steering? Trim tabs?
This is a guesstimate based on my own experience.
