Free storage makes a huge difference, but I'd say to take a VERY careful look at the structure. If a boat has been sitting for six years, it is not unusual to find water has gotten into the deck and chainplates and that there are structural issues. Check the deck, the area around the chainplates, any bulkhead tabbing associated with them or hidden below them. Check the flooring, often water has built up inside and rotted things out, including the entire electrical system.
An engine that was sitting for six years, even if mothballed before put away, may also need a *total* rebuilt.
Could be a bargain--but definitely needs some hours of careful inspection. Derelicts are often given away, simply because it would cost too much to have them HAULED away and disposed of at Hazmat landfill rates.
