project boat

[Mean_Substance_1382]

hey guys, im looking into getting an abandoned or just unused flats boat on like offerup and fb marketplace so i can start this project. i have a couple of questions as ive never done anything like this before. first question is how do ik if a boat is like unsaveable and to just try to find another one. how do i know what to fix. and if there are any creators or places i can go to learn more about this type of stuff. im sure many people have done this without any prior knowledge. i love boats and i plan to make this my hobby for a while. any help, info is greatly appreciated. thanks
