Default buying a boat

hi folks,

is there a big difference buying a boat that was built in 1975 vs
1985...providing that both were maintained to excellent standards?
what things do you want to keep an eye out when purchasing a boat
older that 15-20 years?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

regards,

spencer.

Yes, there can be a big difference.
You can have problems with dry rot, delamination, expensive systems to
replace etc.

I would recommend you hire a marine surveyor to check out any boat you
purchase.
