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

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

Re: Older Hulls
 

who built it, what it has been through, how its been cared for....

Survey, Survey, Survey!!! :drink: :drink:

I own an '88 that is good to go.

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.

That would be it. :drink:

7,000 wow I'll say :eek:

Re: Older Hulls
 

that's the only way for me to have a big boat without a loan! Sometimes I think new boat but as soon I think big payment, the new boat idea goes away... and it comes back!

Re: Older Hulls
 

i have a 79 cig mistress i rerigged last fall and there was no rot or soft spots anywhere in the boat! not a stress crack anywhere and i launch it like im trying to go into orbit every time i take it out. hard to beat old school cigs and apaches for rocksolid boats

Re: Older Hulls
 

those are great shots!

Re: Older Hulls
 

A quality hull that has been properly stored and maintained should be fine.

Over the past few years I had an 85 Cigarette and an 89 Skater. Both of them had outstanding, sound hulls.

As others pointed out, get a survey.

Do you still have the 88 TG with the Quadrotor motors? That is a sweet ride .

Re: Older Hulls
 

Yes I do..but the quads have gone to a new home :cool:

Thanks for the compliment!! :drink:
