I'd take the 25k and buy something that doesn't need any work. If you are going to pay people do do these repairs you will be pulling your hair out by the time your done. If the shop says no problem it will take 2 weeks they really mean bring the boat over to sit for a month, then we will start the job, then set it back out side, work on it again after 2 months and you start *****ing, and after a year you may get your boat done. Now do that with each step and if you buy the motor first it will be 4 years old before it ever hits the water. Then after the first trip out you will notice some minor problems and the process starts all over again at the shops. Besides that its a great idea.
