Looking at your current home and the one you are buying it's mainly style and flooring. I would pay to rip out the purchase home flooring and get what you want installed. After that you can move in an update at your leisure. Lots of kitchen cabinets to deal with, counter tops, appliances. As long as your floors are in place, living there during the remodel is a POC. Well, take that back, drywall work is messy, get that done immediately. Been there done that, we walked on bare concrete floors for 6 months on our last move...don't want to do that again. Rip out all the window coverings, get some plantation shutters. You should be able to do the kitchen cabinets and have the counters replaced by pro. Love the new location...the dock would be my last priority...but then I'm not a boat fan unless its taking us for a dive! Good luck.
