Bottom line, each and every boat has its own unique story. It might be fine, it might be a disaster.
Also opinions are like a-holes, everybody has one and they all stink.
Go with your gut and if it feels right,go with it. After all its not like it's a lot of money and if it makes you happy then do it and screw all others.
Hell, like I said, that one at my dock has seen some real abuse and still seems to be out there every weekend.
Good luck with your decision
