Buy rather than Build?

Apologies for not including some text to explain the pcitures of a rather delapidated GRP boat above - most of you will think I have gone bananas and maybe you are all right.

The reason is that I am not in the UK for the Summer and am looking for a cheap local project to get me out on the water. The dinghy you read about in previous posts is part of that plan, but I also thought it would be nice to have something that I could cruise and sleep in - the yellow peril above has been rulled out - but there may be other lurking around awaiting some tender care....
