I found a 1986 pro comp TS6M on FB marketplace, the guy is asking 2500 OBO. I asked if the floor and stringers have ever been addressed and he said the boat is original and never been re-done. He said there's only 2 soft spots on the floor and the stringers seem fine. I am 100% sure the stringers and floor have to be re-done and I am ok taking on this project.

Its also missing all seats in the interior

The motor has not been run in years and needs carb parts, a battery, and obvious maintenance to run again- he states it is not seized.

I'm rolling the dice here but considering taking it on as a project boat. While I'm well aware this is thousands and thousands of dollars away from being water ready what do you think is a fair offer for this boat? While I don't like low- balling people this boat is essentially a hull, and a rotted one at that (whether he wants to admit it or not). I was thinking of offering $1500 - am I way off base?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance, I have learned a ton just from lurking and soaking in all the knowledge in this forum.
