Buying a 1976 Sanger Bubbledeck...advice?

[Spyhunter]

Hi all, Noob here. I'm going to purchase a '76 Sanger bubbledeck tonight. Any specific common problem areas to watch out for? Anything other than engine related stuff to check first? All help is greatly appreciated, Thanks. Here is a link to the boat I'm picking up. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. My name is Rich btw and I live in Prescott, the boat is in Tempe. Thanks all.

check for cracks all around the engine box that is glassed to the floor. I agree with the olds issue also There like Fords and Dodges I just dont see them working that well
