Opinions on possible new boat?

Hey all,

I am looking at a possible TUNA! boat tomorrow and would like some feedback if anyone is familiar.

1971 Fiberform 21ft. Hardtop

I will re-fit and probably re-power, but wanted input on hull design if possible. It is in great shape and at an unbeatable price.

I am pretty much stuck on an older hull, completly gone through for reliability and safety. So new boats are not an option.

I had the Appolo version of the fiberform. 23 foot 1978. Had major damage to the stringers (more than my capacity or patience to repair). I would highly recommend a hull survey before purchase. Stringer replacement is not a job to be taken lightly. Its the spend a dollar to save a dime syndrome real quick. Very heavy boat, not chopper gun glassed and takes some HP to push it around. Trim tabs were a must have on mine.
