not truly "difficult", but time consuming and messy. Definitely possible. You should be getting that boat real cheap and the rest of it there. Sails generally need to be in decent shape, etc. otherwise you can be into a real project and possible money pit, relatively speaking. These projects CAN be done on a budget if you have the time to spend. What do you expect and want out of the boat? Which Mystere is it?
