Purchase Advice: Antifouling and Bow Thruster Concerns

After lurking for a while, I finally decided to reach out for some advice as I'm in the process of buying my first boat.

I've looked at 4 different boats now. The most recent one was last weekend and I'm seriously thinking about making a offer, but I have some concerns.

My main concern that i'm worried about is the area around the bow thrusters. It looks (and feels) like you can literally pull it lose around the thrusters. I'm guessing this needs immediate attention?

The second quesiton is about the antifouling, I've attached some pictures for reference. It seems to be coming loose more than I've ever seen before.. Should I be worried about this?

The boat in question is a "Sollux 850tc." Any thoughts or advice you could share would be awesome!
