Sadly this one is beyond saving. More rotten wood than good.
It has had most of the machinery removed for salvage along with anything else that was of use.
If you look in the foreground of the picture you will see a pile. That is the remains of the previous boat which was burnt after stripping. This one will meet the same fate sadly.
At least what is salvageable will go on to live another day
