From the pics, the one thing that would concern me is the engine. For sure have a mechanic check that thing out, big time. That's the biggest thing. If the hull is good, that is a great boat that will last a really, really long time. But you need to know if the engine will keep up with the hull. And? Repowering a good old boat should be an option.
Thing looks very clean, but it is your investment, so look it over really good. But a mechanic should look at that engine.

And if it were me, and I bought it, I'd be having a mechanic give it a tune up right away. New plugs, new impeller (water pump), clean the fuel system and check replace every part of that motor. Get it tip top when you start, then do the right maintenance and have some fun.
