I just have to say that the idea of not worrying about build quality in an older boat seems like a mistake to me. As boats age the differences in build quality get more significant not less. You should look strongly at the upkeep and general condition of the boat. However, as repairs have been done over the years you have no guarantee that they have been done correctly. (look at the thread about how to change a lightbulb) A boat from a higher quality builder is likely to hold its condition longer and been subjected to less bailin' wire and bubble gum repairs.
