Same as any boat that vintage, confirm solid transom and stringers, should be mercruiser powered with a pre alpha outdrive, fairly common. Just make sure it's in good shape and runs well.

I'm still learning about boats. How do I check the transom and stringers. Thanks for your help.

Get a survey done by a professional. You can get an idea by rapping the inside of the transom with a plastic mallet - a thud sound = rot - a sharp sound = no rot.
