That’s no longer a toy airplane and I’m guessing the owner(s) have no idea of potential risks.
Icing? Let’s go it’s got deice
Weather? Let’s go it’s got NEXRAD
However tempting this may be, take a good look at yourself and walk away.
If you do decide to take the job then charge them $50/hr because that’s what your experience is worth.
Sorry to have to be this harsh.

To the OP, don't sell yourself short because you have 1000 hrs. We all had 1000hrs at one point. I very much doubt they're requesting your services out of love. When they bought a plane, they knew they'd need to pay for a pilot. If you're going to negotiate pay, better to start too high than too low.
