i need some advice here...

I know a 1990 ranger 680c for sale That's been sitting in a dry garage for many years.... From what i've seen it should be in realy nice shape.

I 'm thinking of turning it into a tiller and removing the console. It's got a 90 yamaha on it that i like to replace with a tiller 50 etec. I would love to have an 16/17 ft tiller glassboat for fishing medium sized waters and be up to beat some nasty winds....

But before i spend my money, do guys think a 26 year old boat is still good enough for another life of hardcore weekly fishing? Does the glass age? Or are there certain things i really should check or even worry about?

Is the 680 still good ennough nowadays for modern fishing?
