Default Should I or shouldn't I ,,,,,,,,,,,

Here is the scenario; find an old wooden sailboat, circa 1955, and speak to
owner. He wants boat gone.

Boat is very cheap. It is a caravel planked boat. It has been taken cared
of but the last couple of years that has been by the local marina. Many
things have been done to the boat. New keel bolts, for example.

But, it still is a wood hull.

Question: is this boat worth investing time and energy in, how many more
years of life does the wooden hull have, will the boat need a complete
rebuild, etc...

Any and all thoughts.
