    Should I bother rebuilding it?

    I just bought a boat and it turns out that the water pump in it was burned up and it buned up the number 1 cylinder. The mechanic said that he would charge about $1500 to fix it. Is it worth the rebuild for one that old or should i just sell it for parts and get a newer boat
