Default Oh the misery....Help!  Need input

Well, looks like the boating season may have ended for me before it began. I purchased my V20 off of ebay back in Feb or March, don't remember which one.....Boat was a freshwater boat, 200 merc and trailer.....Boat was said to need cosmetics but was "structurally sound". What a bunch of BS. Floors were solid until the temps went above the freezing mark as was the gas tank cover. Floor isn't terrible, just a few soft spots, figured I'd use it as is for this year and then put in a new one over the winter. Gas tank hatch was going to be pulled in another week or so to fix that. Well....took the boat to the marina yesterday to have them tune up the 200 merc and put in a new waterpump, yadda, yadda......said to the guy, how much for bottom paint and repairing a few scrapes? He said lets look at the scrapes. So we crawl under my baby, take a look most of it was just war wounds from hitting the trailer, no big deal. Then (other post about this) we took a look at the cracks that were "from hitting the trailer"......they aren't. Stringers have delaminated from the hull causing the cracks.....fiberglass guy is going to call with an estimate on fixing them but of course the stringers that popped are right under the cuddy. I don't have the time to fix it myself or I would (hence having them bottom paint the boat). What would you guys do? Right now I am into the boat for $3500. My wife loves the boat which is huge in and of itself considering every boat we have owned up until now she has greatly disliked. I have no idea how bad the $$$$ is going to be. It will need new stringers, deck and as long as its all up I'll do the gas tank too, heck why not do the transom? But a local guy quoted me 1500 for the floor, at least that for the transom.....the boat's an 86'. Any advice you can give me would be great. Tell me what to do here......I feel sick, gotta go...... :'(
