Both have advantages. Bottom line is has it been maintained w/ proper
bottom paint and barrior coats thru the years.
Also what is the condition of the boots/seals around the engine drives
(assuming it is not an outboard).

I would definetly want a haul out survey done before spending any money on a
houseboat.

We're thinking about getting a 1976 Burns Craft houseboat.
It's very nice inside but I worry about a fiberglass hull
that's been in the water for almost 30 years. Should I
pass on it for a metal-hulled boat? Are they any better?

Thank you, Michael
