Here are my 2 cents:
1, Get some 1500 grit WET sandpaper and sand the hull, you will be shocked how easy it will clean ugly old sailboat hulls.
2, Get a NEW Minn Kota 55 thrust motor with the battery manager ( Endura Max ) it goes 5 times further that the old model.$275
3, Get a NAPA deep cycle new battery. $95
4, Make sure you use the sailboat rudder or you will have no control.
5, Enjoy the peace and quiet of Electric Boating.

I picked up a 1965 Rhodes 18 cuddy. Only 7 were built with the cuddy. over 700 open. was going to chop and change but decided to keep it pretty much as is but it will be no keel , about 200 lbs internal ballast and thinking doing a electric motor (outboard) and solar panels on an extended cabin top over the cockpit.
I am basically zero electric. so any ideas.. Can supply photos if can figure out how to load them
