So, big cautions? Advice? What should I pay? etc. All help greatly
appreciated!

Older Piver Tri's were not the best designed boats. Most (all?) were
plywood held together with polyester resin. Many of them would be
approaching the end of their useful life.

- Check for rot everywhere especially in the amas (floats), cabin/deck
joints, and the underwing structure
- get a surveyor who knows plywood boats. Even if he only checks the
structure for you and gives you a verbal report (since it sounds like you're
very short of funds) it probably will be money well spent.
