Mr. Bear, Capt. Chuck is right, however you should look at two things before you get too far into a rebuild. 1. Take a trip through the "for sale" section to see what these boats are going for in whatever condition they are in 2. go to a boat show and check out what a new boat this size cost. There is a rather wide gap.
If you are VERY handy and not in a big rush you can rebuild it and get a boat much cheaper than new and just like you want, plus the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Don't forget whatever you think it may cost, rule of thumb, double it. Good luck.
