Hello friends. I need some sage advice. I've been wanting a Marinette ever since I first laid eyes on one... that being last summer. I want a nice sized boat that my family and I can get out and enjoy on the weekends and even stay over night if we want. The idea of an aluminum hulled vessel really appeals to me as I've read they're nearly indestructible and don't require too much maintenance as far as worrying about cracking, etc. While browsing Craigslist I came across this ad:

As you can see it's pretty much all new except for top paint and "TLC" needed inside. I spoke with the owner (haven't seen it yet) and says that the TLC is more of just dated interior and usual wear for a boat that is nearly 50 years old. The motor is a Chevy 350 (two years old) and has a new Velvet drive transmission.
Am I crazy for wanting this?! What should I be on the look out for?
Thanks!
