I'm looking to buy my first boat and I have decided I would like a small 13 whaler sport. I've pretty much decided my brand will be a Boston Whaler so the 13 is perfect for my vehicle and just right for my wife and I.

The boat I am looking at is actually from a member on this site. Here is the thread in which he was looking for advice on selling the boat. I actually fond the boat through craigslist and it is just coincidence that I ran accross his postings on this board while doing my own research. Here is the link

Here are pictures of the boat

My only major concern is that the hull is almost 25 years old, but with whalers I know this is not much of a concern. I just want to make sure I'm not purchasing something I will regret later. My major concern is to make sure the boat is not waterlogged. What are the possibilities of an 84 Sport 13 being waterlogged if it was always kept trailered? Also what should I look for before purchasing to make sure the hull is ok?

I would really appreciate some replies asap as I am looking at the boat today and may make the purchse today.

Thanks
Daniel
