Hello.
Wow that was a lot of reading.
Here's a another point to concidder when buying an older boat. Be real sure to look very closely at all Stainless Steel - especially around the deck area. Chain plates, stanchion holders etc. If U see the tiniest little hairpin crack or a tiny isolated rust point - this could mean that there is sodium corrosion and most of its strenght is gone. And if one has it - U can be sure the rest of them also.
Not to mention how a 30 year old aluminum fuel tank would look inside - most likely very pitted an lots of crud/ sludge.
Cheers
