Ahh! The truth comes out!
Heck, I not know how old you are. I am 35 and been 35 for 15 years. Your boat be here longer than I will. Now, length of time may be different.
It like I said about the Harley. I sold mine to my Nephew. He paint and it really look good how he changed the Bike. Never had more than an Oil and Filter change.
Take care of it or not. Just some simple TLC go a long way it Life.
Listen, now this Motor Boats. But, I have seen then mounted wrong and the owner do "Not" until the transom rot out. It the same with Sailboats!
I fixing to buy a sailboat. Retractable Keel. As far as fiberglass and all, hey it look good. Some "Normal Cracks" in Gel Coat (1978) they could been prevented.
But, the main is the Keel! Now, had I bought the boat early in it's life. I promise!!!!!!!!!!!! That Keel be good as new. But, sadly, now! I can fix her.
I get a good deal at the expense of a person that not do simple TLC. Oh, I will pill the Keel. But, that a hobby to me at the lose of Blah, Blah.
Your boat, with care, in my opinion, be here until you give it away (Maybe in your 'Will').
