I would check the anchor locker hatch cover. When they cut out for the latch they cut into the balsa core creating a leak and the hatch goes soft. An easy and cheap fix. Also look at the aft deck and check for soft spots. The rest of the boat is solid. My '88 has been afloat its entire life and has no blisters. The engines may need elbows and risers. The gelcoat will look like new with a coat of 3M Cleaner Wax. Throw away the Loran. The price depends on condition, check on Yacht World. Capt. George
