Take your time and research research research any and all advice you receive. The good thing about advice you get on this forum is there's no shortage of folks willing to throw the BS flag if someone takes you too far off the reservation. Even then please still research and vet all advice you get. Some of the best and worst advice will come from some "old salt" you meet locally.
IF IT WHERE ME, and it is not. First thing first before cosmetics is make the boat watertight from the top down. Buy a good tarp and cover it. With a little imagination and ingenuity some pvc pipe can be bent Conestoga wagon style. Seal all penetrations, re-bed all fasteners and windows is the logical first step. This will halt any and all potential for any further possible water intrusion.
Having said that I can hardly wait to see how YOU proceed with your project. A project like this has potential to teach us all something. Good luck hatch
