If you are truly are willing and able to drop 20-25k to get on the water then ditch the v and go and buy any number of nicer boats.

Option b is find a hull in better condition and repower it.

Last option imo is to repower AND have to rebuild the boat. Unless there is ome sentimental value it just aint worth it.
Well i guess the only reason i said 20-25k is because between a new outboard and all the work into the hull im thinking i will probably spend at least 15-20k (does this sound about right?). I would prefer to not spend much at all but it is what it is. I look online for used outboards everyday but would like the piece of mind of a new engine and warranty because i will be using the boat often.
