Default buying a boat

ps.com...

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.

spencer.


In addition to the care and maintenance, I think it really depends on what
brand boat.
1975 was still the "early" years for fiberglass construction for many
manufacturers.
That can be good ... or it can be bad.

Depends on the boat, too. I mean a jon boat seems to still be a jon
boat regardless of age.

Would help to know what type as well as brand.
