certain items are required to be considered seaworthy/legal, I would highly recommend you ask seller fix those as part of the transaction.
Bottom paint and canvas - well that comes along with a used boat.
*While "seaworthy/legal" requirements might hold water (no pun intended) for a stronger negotiating stance...they hold no power over the seller to fix...there is no requirement to disclose/fix like in real estate so I would negotiate big ticket items long before a measly bilge pump or expired flares or lack of life jackets...all those are pennies in the big scheme of things and can sour a deal over nothing.
