Life expectancy of fiberglass?

Jeff:

Very interesting to read your comments. I have had a Chris Craft Apache 37 for 20 years and have enjoyed the boat thoroughly all those years. As you may know, it''s an S&S design with a fin keel and bulb (radical for 1967) with minimum wetted surface concept that still sails past many modern designs of comparable size. For 37 ft, however, and 10 ft of beam, the interior is not comparable in size to modern designs; however, it drives great.

Structually, the boat seems strong and was quite well constructed. Do you have any experience with this boat and knowledge of what I should look for relative to manufactured topics, fiberglass, etc.

Thanks

Moe
