I would need to know the condition of the interior of the house before deciing on whether to spend the money on paint.    This could be a tax assessment tactic.  I know a man who keeps the exterior of his home very shabby but the interior is completely remodeled.  For him it is to fool the tax assessor into a lower value.

The boat looks great but it might not be enough to draw attention away from the house needing painting. Perhaps as a gift the seller will paint the house for the right buyer!

I'll buy the boat.  Not so interested in the rest.....  That house is beyond painting.  The wood is likely to be punky, with the paint having come off to that extent.

And the boat has enough lights, it seems to me.   :  )
