Don't see any problem. I'm sure the existing good part of the tubes could be used providing you could get a good colour match.

Has it fallen off a trailer? It's definitely Pennel Orca yellow so no problem on the colour match, it's just a case of getting the rest of the tube to look as good as the new bit!

How much would the tube repair be? roughly.

As it's a 5.5 it should be 5 chamber so there's a Bulhead to be rebuilt, I would estimate £650 ish.

My guess is that it slipped it's moorings in a big storm and got bashed up on an Oil terminal dolphin or something like that!

If its 650 to fix the toobs 200 for the transom and say 300 to fix the seat does it still represent good value.?

I soo nearly put a bid on but it's a little bit too far away for me! It looks like a good boat and would clean up pretty well.

All I can say is I only spotted this now and it would have been a nice little project for my scouts assuming I could have got it down to London in the first place!
