Time,,,money,,,,and a little love and it will come back to life. Good Luck
Well my mother-in-law wants to start fishing again and hasn't used her boat since 2006. It's in pretty bad shape, but I think I can get it cleaned up and going again. The boards on the trailer are completely rotten, the trailer tongue needs replaced, the motor will have to be checked out and repaired, lights and all electronics gone through, the entire boat is filthy and some of the wood and carpet will have to be replaced. Going to be a lot of work wish me luck. I'll post some pics as I go. Here are some pics in it's current state

Looks like a BIG job ahead. Should be fun though. Keep us posted with updates on how it's going.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

You might be surprised when you give it a good cleaning. From looks of the seats it dosnt have a bunch of sun damage. Going to be a good project. Going to be interesting to follow your progress on this.

GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
First stop is a car wash with a big vacuum and pressure clean everything, then start on the work part. The gunk gets in the way. I miss my 16' beer can boat.
