Default Bayliner 2550

I'm looking at a mid 80's Bayliner 2550 Ciera. 5.7 GM engine. Can anyone tell me common concerns with that model? I know with Bayliners (like any other boat) to look at the floor, transom and stringers. I know going in that the boat will be a project and I'm comfortable with that. But this would be my first cabin cruiser project, so I'm just trying to find out if there's any hidden areas or common issues I should look for when I look at the boat.
