I come across a 1970 Sea Ray tri-hull with a 75HP
merc. Floor will probably need replacing this year (starting to get
soft) and it needs a new prop.

But what else to check for? A search on googleNews says to check for
rotting transom and stringers, but how do you check those? Anything
else I should look for?

Is the boat free or next to nothing? If not I'd keep looking. It is
likely to be more expense and headache than it is worth. Even at
"free" it may not be a good deal if it is going to cost serious $$$$s
to get it fixed up and running properly.
