Consider also that there is a crack almost all the way
around where it joins the hull and the bottom of the keel is broken
from resting on the trailer. I have not been able to inspect the
inside of the hull yet, but knowing about the keel alone, is it even
worth moving the boat down the road to my house? I have more time than
money, I just want to know if this is worth the time.


Almost certainly not worth fixing, very high probability of serious
internal damage that you can not see, and even the visible damage that
you report will take a lot of skill, effort and expensive materials to
repair. There are *many* used, undamaged boats in that size range
available for very little money.
