New to site/ 23 CC Potter repower / trailer

[shoctor]

Literally have cash in hand..... Also forgot to add this boat was used commercially stringers cut into etc etc. Water in the bilge outside stringers from some hack job repairs. Looked abused and put away wet for quite some time. My basis for getting away from this was the asking price and the owner not willing to go down. Way I figured it.. $3k for trailer $3k for transom. $3K for paint/other hull repairs. $1500 to mount engine and new steering system. Add on the $6 K firm asking I am at $16,500. I have already looked at several potters either recently done or done in last 10 years in way better shape with trailer and newer vintage motor. I feel I would be throwing good money after bad. When I could but another recently done sell the motor put my new 4 stroke on and sell the privateer with the motor from seacraft to recopup some money and be ahead of the game.
