Subject: Rebuilding Rotten Boat Interiors

A local marina is selling a 16' Smokercraft "King Troller" with a late model 40hp Mariner and a real nice Shorelander trailer for an asking price of $2,700. Some of the plywood is pretty rotten under some of the carpet. In fact, it's possible that the boat will have to be gutted and rebuilt. But the hull appears very sound and the overall size is right. My question is - is this a hell of a difficult project for a reasonably handy fellow to take on?

Seems to me this is a good way to obtain and outfit the boat to my exact needs. I won't be able to afford a nice used boat to meet those needs anytime in the near future because of other financial priorities. It would be a great winter project, too.

Hmmmm....what do you think?
