Help me qualify a rebuilt 1972 20'?

[lhbaxley]

Thanks to all for your help. Yes, the rig is priced right around 18k. The owner is definitely knowledgeable (in the industry). He says the outboard has less than 10 hours on it. Frankly, I'm not all that concerned about the outboard due to age/hours/warranty but I'd still have it checked out. No on the the flotation bracket. The seller did inform me that the deck is "tired" and will need to be replaced in the near future. Any clue what that would cost? I'm up in MA so I'd want it done somewhere in New England. It sounds like the rebuild was done by someone in CT. I think the name was Brian Lelahand (sp?).

I wonder why do all that work and not fix the sole/deck ?

If the sole and cap were re-cored and bonded back to tops of stingers, then it would be basically "new"

At that price, with a new motor, its probably a good deal.

Any clue what that would cost?

depends how they do it, if they just cut out the old one and put in a new deck, then maybe a couple thousand.

I did not see anything about the fuel tank? Its probably close to the end of its life, you might want to replace it when you have the deck done
