Make sure everything is solid, and it should be a great boat. Same hull as today, much different interior, and fewer composites. if it's cared for, it will last a very long time.

Does it have a wood transom under fiberglass or aluminum?
Thanks

The transom is a wood core encapsulated in several layers of fiberglass. if no one drills or has drilled through the core without sealing the hole, it will outlast you.

The transom cap is aluminum. All transoms have cores of some kind, most are now composite.
