Whatever you do, go in with eyes wide open. Get a good surveyor, and then get good estimates for any work that needs done. Personally I would prefer to take care of the work, vs the seller, assuming the price is adjusted to cover the work. That's what we did and are about 4 months into renovation work - 3 hours from home. I've paid an outstanding, ocd type, boat mechanic/electrician/plumber to do much of the work. I've done quite a bit myself and will continue to do so, getting the boat like we want it. I enjoy the work, and am very fortunate that we can pay for work also. With just a few exceptions, there have been no surprises. I was contemplating sewing/making a flybridge enclosure, but decided that was a bridge too far - and have found a very good guy to do that work - flybridge is 9' wide and 13 ft long - but I am sewing new phifertex window covers for the salon and front windows - more my speed. Again, eyes wide open.
