I'd make this a project boat- and I was wondering what kind of costs I might be looking at replacing stringers and perhaps transom. I'd probably go through the dukes and see what they needed and put a heat exchanger on them- and go through the outdrives-

Thanks for any input-

I wouldn't pay more than $1500 for a boat like that, and that is if it was till running. Your looking at some big bucks if you can't do the fiberglass work yourself. Many shops down here charge $3-8K to do a transom depending on what all it takes, and stringers are MAJOR work any way you slice it.

to be honest, $1500 is still a little on the high side, for what you'll end up in that boat making it safe and seaworthy, you could buy a nice boat ready to use. I guess if you did all the work yourself, you're going to end up with at least $10,000 in it, if you have to farm anything out, double that

Four grand is WAY too high! Shop around for a while and don't fall in love. Make yourself look at as many Airslots as possible (like at least 10) before plunking down any cash.
