Looking into purchasing a 1984 Bayliner Trophy 24'.

Has anyone heard of any issues with the Stringers or Transoms for this year?

Thanks.

You assume *nothing* on a 21-year old boat.

Lots of boats of that age have problems with stringers, transoms,
delam,...you name it.
The age and name brand alone mean little. Depending on how each boat
has been individually maintained, that Bayliner might be in better
shape than another boat under consideration from a more presitgious
manufacturer......(or not).

===========================================

Yes, it happens a lot, all 20 y/o boats. Get a good survey from an
expert before investing a dime. The value of an '84 Bayliner is not
very high even if in perfect condition. Bargain hard, and be prepared
to walk away. There are a lot of good boats out there.
