    boat and engine look clean …indicating  care… if the comp is ok    I would go for it. but… it may be my eyes…check transom…seems bent out of shape (round in the middle ??? …make certain it is sound or look at it as a long term fix project .

    transom can be rebuilt and reglassed.   lots of utubes

    see book  RUNABOUT RESTORATION… .good book to guide you .

    trailer looks solid …. probably needs new bearings… easy fix    ….engine wise  just be prepared to  buy lots of fuel 🙂    Common magneto… easy to  service
