If you could buy this for $8500 or somewhere around that I would do it. If it needs wood work that is much easier than body work. I have done both having built a 57 ft schooner and now restoring a 34 5 window. You can do wonders with a simple tilt table band saw and belt/disc sander. Any body wood would most likely be of white oak or ash. The wooden boat guys could help you out with that.
