thanks AKDoug, I appreciate the input. Since I wouldn't even know where to begin, other than very obvious defects, I guess that's where a good surveryor comes in. My wife and I are big DIYers and don't mind little things that are cosmetic or that might take some time but won't effect overall safety while we are fixing it, so the things you mention aren't big issues, and it's nice to hear everything you did with yours. In the last 18 hours since starting this post, I am already starting to rethink my philosophy and might instead start with a smaller, less expensive boat and move up as we need to in the years to come.
