Fenderjack, I had an 82 39 foot and it was a very nice looking boat. I got it when it was only 4 years old and it was a mess. Stringers rotted out just forward of the fuel tank and suspect bulkheads. You would not believe how poorly it was constructed. I spent quite a bit of resources making it right but never trusted the boat. It is still around and no problems that I know of. Just be ready for structural issues if they have not been addressed by a PO. The previous poster mentioned that they need power, that is an understatement. If you want to go 60+, pick out a different boat
