Hey guys I'm new to the forum but have been on here reading for the past week. I'm looking at a 95 sundancer 290 with twin 4.3's. Boat is in fair shape cosmetically think it would clean up pretty well though. So my question is how prone to rot are these boats? I know thats a subjective question but I believe some boats are more prone than others but ofcourse if theres wood it can rot. I ask this because the engine hatch seems to be soft the rest of the decking seems much stronger but I was crawling around under the canvas. This was just like a preliminary check out because i was in the area but how concerned should i be. I've been around boats a long time and would have no problem fixing the hatch but if theres transom rot or stringer damage I dont want to be a part of it.
