I bought a sunk '85 last year that was in questionable shape. Cracks in the deck along the gunnels. Soft deck in spots. Wiring that was in bad shape, wet stringers, etc. etc. I wound up replacing every removable part from the stringers up. I bought the hull for 5 K and spent twice that in all the new material. I now have a boat that I'm very happy with. My advise is to assume the worst, all work will take twice as long as you may estimate and then you will not be disapointed. Good luck. Dink
