"A great buy for someone willing to put in the time and effort to bring this boat back..." or they include a list of new, uninstalled parts that go with the boat, and so on. Boats from 8' to 80', all in disrepair and yet..it seems to me..still asking too much money for what they offer.

Mebbe they count on folks not being able to calculate what it will actually cost to get work done or even to do it yourself...which may be why so many boats need bringing back.
