are there any problems I should be aware of when looking at the hull of a 1967 donzi? I located some softness in the bow area, near the bow cleat. ,also the cockpitdeck hatches are soft. what about stringers ,transom? are there any design flaws that I should be aware of? I plan on having the boat surveyed,but before I pay I just want to have some ideas on what I should be aware of.

If you are not certain about the core condition of a boat, before you invest money into a rehab, ALWAYS have a survey done.

The cost of the survey is the cheappest insurance you can buy to find out the condition of a 33 year old boat.

Jag, In an old Bertram I owned you could see water stains from water dripping out of the stringers. Look for water seepage from stringers and bulkheads. Check the front deck core. Any old boat will have some rot!!!Good Luck. Great boat. GEOO
