Looking at purchasing a ‘70 St Tropez
As the title states… there’s a 1970 St Tropez that’s been completely redone near me and I’m wondering what I should be looking out for? The owner says he replaced the gas tank, reinforced the stringers by wrapping them in aluminum and then attaching aluminum plates vertically to the floor which is also aluminum. The motor is a 6 yr old 351 and the outdrive appears to be original. I didn’t see any stress cracks on the hull and supposedly all the gauges work, in fact I’ve been told that everything is in working order with no issues.
The owner added a Stryker T-top and it looks great. A heavy duty dual axel trailer is included. I’m not sure where this boat should be pricing wise?!? I should add that as far as he knows, the boat has never seen salt water. She seems really clean but has some dock rash and a few fiberglass repairs.
This is my first post and can’t add any photos
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Steven

looks clean ! As much i love checkered plate, i would investigate if that does not hide a soft floor ...
not a deal breaker it could be fixed but just knowing before buying !
