I have the exact same boat, except mine is a 89 and 10 grand, light use, nice gelcoat,always stored inside, ready to fish. Now i have 3 piles of boat and a major rebild going on. No matter how nice it is ,age dictates what is required to make it a top notch boat. When i bought my boat i checked it out good, beat on the transom, stood on the back of the motor checking for deflection, looking for bad spots in the floor,checking the tank. Missed it all,Bet i could spot it now, And mine is 3 years newer.read the post, learn the weak spots and go back with that information then check the boat over again you would be suprised what you find, than decide if its right for you. Price wise you are in the ball park. Les
