Questions regarding an older boat

[tomc]

the biggest thing about an older glass boat is that there is alot of wood in them.so the worry of the stringers and main beam to be rotted are there,i would check the transom,by pushing and pulling to see if there any flexing,i would also check the hull for bad repaires if any,and also look at the bottom down the center for cracks,i would also walk around in the boat,checking ever inch of the floor for soft spots,make sure you get the corners and out of the way spots.

for the boat not getting up on plane could be a number of things.
motor too small,or not running right

too much weight in front of boat,

wrong prop

motor not angled right on boat
