Consider, for

planks on that hull. (IIRC, they were sheathed in mahogany when new).
If you can cut, shape, maybe bend, fasten, and caulk your own plank- it
will probably cost you $100 or so for the materials and an enjoyable
day of fiddling around. If you can't do your own plank, it will
probably cost you $200 for a marked up plank and $1000 to have it
installed.


If THAT is necessary on a woodie Grand Banks you bought a greatly abused
junker.
