Older Hulls

Are there any reasons to shy away of purchasing an older hull, lets say around 1988, 89?? Does the hull loose its integrity at all??
Thanks

Re: Older Hulls

I'd have to say it depended on who built it.

Re: Older Hulls

I've got a 73 that continues to be surveyed flawlessly. Every time I hear "Wow. They just don't make them like this anymore." Then again, not many 28 foot boats these days come in at 7,000 LBS.
