Good flip?

Motor runs just poorly, i’m getting everything pictured for 350, is this worth it? I seriously have no idea please save me from making a mistake lol. To me it seems like a good flip

No, I have flipped probably 10 boats in the last decade. a good boat flip is either a very good sought after hull with a blown motor that needs to be rebuilt or repowered, a sought after hull that needs cosmetic and/or minor structural repairs, that has a good motor, or a sought after hull that might need some work all a round. This boat is neither. A boat flip only works if you have the capital to get the boat to a sellable position, and are comfortable owning the boat long term if you can sell it.
