Default Buying fiberglass boat that ran aground and needs keel repair?

Howdy,

I have an offer to buy (very cheaply) a 24' keel fiberglass sailboat
that has some
damage to keel and needs repair. It is almost 30yo so I am afraid that
any damage
to fiberglass might have fractured a bit more than "a hairline crack"
as owner describes.
I have a lot of experience in sailing but none in boat ownership or
repair - how expansive
is is repairing fiberglass keel? What are the costs of dry-dock/
workspace? Is it something
that can be done by a beginner (assuming I can have help from a very
experienced
carpenter/builder)?
Thanks for any pointers/info,

JT
