Have you been in the containers?
50 foot is a nice size but fast approaching the need for crew.
It would be nicer if it had a full keel, not as critical since it is
steel.

When I bought RedCloud I wish it was a bare hull, took quite a while
to rip everything out and start over. Also it gives you the freedom to
design things to fit your needs.

First thing to do is blast the interior, make sure it has proper
limber holes and every drop of water drains with ease to the lowest
point of each WT compartment.

Then coat the steel with a nice 2 part epoxy.

I will be happy to walk you thru the next 100+ key steps .... if you
buy the boat.
