Default info on '69 Pacemaker TriCabing motor cruiser

my son has a small business building boat windows - they do a lot
for Pacemakers - many seem to have that problem - but that
may be it - could be good deals out there

here's a link to a Pacemaker forum, and the window site - they
discuss the windowas a fair bit on the website

the Pacemaker site has lots of restoration info

I'm thinking about this purchase of a 34' 69 Pacemaker TriCabin. Boat
looks really sharp and clean. Interior is nice. Exterior topside could
use some touch up paint but generally looks to be in good condition.
dual 318s with about 420 hours on them since rebuild.

I was getting transport quotes and this one guy asked what I was paying
for it. He then said let me work up a price to transport and get back
to you.

He called back with a quote that was twice what the other 4 transport
companies quoted then told me this particular boat make/model had a
problem with ribs breaking the planks developed lots of leaks and
recommended I not purchase it.

A few moments later, he called back and asked me for the name of the
person selling the boat.... hmmmmm

I didn't give him that info, but I'm wondering if he's trying to scoop
the purchase on me or if he was being straight about the hulls
proneness to leaks/rib issues?

Does anyone here have experience with these Pacemaker tricabins of
similar vintage? (1969)

I'd appreciate any feedback.
