I owned a 681 that was a diamond in the rough when I picked it up but became a beautiful boat. I later repowered it with an Etec. I spent a ton of time polishing that glass and the sparkle came back fine. Oh, and that 681 really liked a 115 and I know the 680 is a little different, but I agree with the guys who say keep looking for a true tiller if that's what you're after. Currently I'm running an '85 Lund Nisswa tiller, also a vintage glass boat, with a new floor, and have no worries about the hull itself. I'm often tempted to buy something newer, then I remember that my boat payment is zero. Even if I repower, it would be a fraction of the cost of a new boat. Find a good glass classic musky boat with a hull that's in good condition, fix it up, repower it if need be. In my opinion these classic boats are tremendous values compared to buying new.
