One link to your entire album is the best method in the forum section like this.

But, unless it is worse than the pictures imply, There is still money in it at two thousand. Walter Reynolds 1973 Boston Whaler 16 Nauset 90 HP Yamaha

New every thing (except for a gently used motor); the only original equipment is the Norman pin, the steering wheel, the stern light bracket, the bow light and the bow and stern eyes. The question is, do I now have a $7350 40 year old boat? Or, do I have a "new" $7350 beautiful classic Whaler? People spend a ka-gillion dollars restoring old cars and are so upside down in them they'll never get so much as 30 cents on the dollar out of them. If you enjoy that sort of project and can do all of the work yourself, "Go For It!" m2c. Vince Zappia

If the boat had most of it's parts and a decent motor that could be brought back to life then I would take on such a project. This one appears to have lost much of it's innards to other projects and presents a real challenge and many dollars to rebuild.
