Make sure the floor has no
Make sure the floor has no soft spots, if it has could only be floor, at worst could be stringers as well which will cost $$ to fix. I have seen one that wasn't fixed and because of the flex the hull then cracked. Most should be OK, If you were looking at an older model Swiftcraft good chance the floor and stringers are stuffed, they are notorious for this and is well worth checking.

You wont find a better riding boat in that size. Had one for a few years before we moved to queensland. Ours had a 90 yamaha and i would highly recomend them to anyone.
