A good friend also worked for over 20 years at a marine shop on the Island and he’d tell you never to buy one of that vintage for the same reason.

I’ve never heard an issue with the smaller runabouts but in a large, ocean going boat they weren’t great.
In all fairness, I'm a huge aluminum fan for fishing, but for a designated ocean fishing boat I would be looking at a glass model.
So I can see where they're coming from.
