    Thank you guys for the input. I just received some more pictures and to me, it all doesn't look to bad. The kick-panels seems to be missing, but I think I can make my own. And there is one area where I am not sure it should be like that, on top of the rails, I circled it blue in a photo.

    Thanks for the input! There is no lift available, but I will bring my jack so I can inspect the flooring. Good tip! @58Belvedere: It is on sale since november last year, I guess there is not much love over here for these gigantuesque boats.
