    Should I be concerned?

    I picked up this boat last summer for $1800.00 w/trailer. The engine is strong and runs like a champ and the out drive is in great shape. I knew the floor needed to be redone, but didnt think the rot was this bad! I'm torn now to either rebuild or scrap it and sell the parts?? We bought this as...
