You really need to get a survey, by a surveyor that is familiar with steel boats. Corrosion is one of the biggest problems with steel boats. One person that you might want to contact via PM here is Valiente, since he owns a steel beastie.
Steel can be an excellent material for boats, particularly larger ones, but their biggest problem is hidden corrosion damage. Galvanic corrosion can eat away the hull more quickly than you would expect.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
