if its spent any time sitting in the water, it will be blistered pretty badly. Everyone I have ever seen has has an osmosis problem, wrotten transoms, stringers, floors etc.

1989 Switzer SS240
While the boat that you are talking about carries the Switzer name, it was built by a guy named Danny Coons whose family purchased the company from Bob & Dave in the early to mid '80s. .
The boat was never really designed to
perform offshore as much as it was designed to look like it could perform offshore.
I agree with the post above. You might be better off in the long run to look for a Pantera, Carrera or something along those lines. Esspecially with a Pantera, they are still in business, their boats are really strong, you can still buy parts and in the long run when you go to sell it, the name recognition and much better quality will sell itself.
I did have a ton of fun with the Switzers though!

Both the Superboat and Switzer are good looking boats .
If you can get it for a song it's worth fixing one up .I rode in a 24 Pantera , it's excellent in rough water . Cabin is small , due to its narrow beam .
Here are the two boats to look at for comparison .
24' Superboat
24' Switzer

The switzers are fast and handle pretty well but are not wave crushers by any means. Very little deadrise at the transom. It all depends on where your going to use it. The resale is very poor if not non-existant. There is one that is listed in the classifieds that has been there for over a year for around 10g's with hydraulic steering and some other goodies.
