Matt, what ever you decide on, if you are seriously considering that boat, before you hand the cash over, spend some money on a survey. its will save you a lot of headaches.

Once the gel coat, has been compromised, you have a chance of water entering the laminate. another weak spot is any hull penetration, such as thru-hull connectors, the cutout for the outdrive and the surrounding bolt holes. Also the deck to hull joint under the rub rail.
