Default 24 Excalibur advice

Good evening all. I am in the process of purchasing a 1977 original 24 Excalibur, and wondering if I could get some feedback from previous or present owners of this iconic boat. Is there any problem areas I should be concerned with besides the obvious, Transom, stringers, and floor.

Take a hard look at the gelcoat, look for cracks in the gelcoat below the water line. Not unheard of to have to have the entire boat regelcoated.

Maybe 60 with a TRS drive, and if it's been upgraded to a Bravo you'll certainly be in the 60 for sure. These are skinny, quick, and wild rides.

Thanks all for your responses. Seller was not co-operative so I decided to go a different route.
