Quote from: "225Explor"...remember, these boats have a lot of wood in them and the marine surveyor can get in there good with a moisture meter and all other major items as well as things you can't see.These boats DO NOT have a lot of wood in them compared to other boats. In that year the transom is wood and the underside of the sole. The important stuff like the stringers are not wood, when everyone else made there's out of wood.I agree that a survey is probably a good idea but have also heard from an seller's point of view that a surveyor can sure damage a boat from all that poking with picks and such.
