Jack has some good advice. Also, if you're headed to the Bahamas, you should be aware of toredos (shipworm) and how they can turn what was solid wood into swiss cheese in fairly short order. Fiberglass boats have their problems with osmosis and delamination as well. Old boats (wood or fiberglass) are often quite inexpensive to buy because they need major repairs or maintenance to keep them seaworthy. Buying any boat requires keeping both eyes open and getting a GOOD surveyor to go over it before you buy. Carpe Diem, but Caveat Emptor as well.
