Is this a real mechanic special or just a money pit

hey yall . perspective owener . Im a maintenance mechanic by trade , so i do all my own repairs on my personal vehicles and do troubleshooting on production equipment professionally. But i never touched anything boat related .

Looking for a fixer upper . Found this gentleman , with a 2007 Honda AquaTrax F-12X with turbo.

Says needs turbo housing replaced . I know the corrosion wont make it easy . But the engine leak and milky oil have me concerned . Im not afraid to do a headgasket . but if this guy let it sit for a while the engine would be hella coroded inside ?
Let me know your thoughts , any advice for a perspective buyer looking to get out on a water for the best value . Im renting a house on the water so storage and transport is not an issue .
