I didnt do the major work... Brad at Seabeam did it all...I basically cleaned it up and put some money into the trailer.. Painted and secondary steering...stuff like that..... He said no dry rot, doesnt seem spongy at all... but its still an older boat... Had a guy last month look at it and survey it... said good hull but could put a lot of time into it, if your trying to make it perfect... Cuddy etc... no cushions to sleep on... Its a fish boat not a cruiser...
