Hi I just purchased a 14' 1964 Renken without knowing anything about boats other than feeling landlocked living on an island. I'm a bit panicked after reading about checkingfor delamination, a soggy transom, loose stringers, etc. as these boats apparently have fiberglass-encased plywood (some mahogany?) in their construction. I did not know this yesterday and would not know how and what to check. I was told it was in the water all last summer after being brought up from Florida. Any suggestions, tips or advice how to proceed from here. My first goal is a workable trailer to get it to my yard.

Thanks so much!
Jo
