Make sure you check the "boxes" under the fuel tank to make sure they are solid, the sides are the stringers. I did when I bought mine, and of course checking them when they are frozen solid is kinda useless as I learned the hard way. See the excellent pics below. Rotten wood saturated with water seems like good wood when frozen!!
Remember you are buying a 20 year old boat so there ain't no warranty and you bought it you got it!! I know nothing about this boat nor am I implying anything about it. Just trying to give you a heads up in buying a wooden XR so you can learn from my "oversight" that resulted in me spending about 150 hours fixing it up.
