    Greetings,
    I an new here and I have some questions concerning a boat I am looking at to possibly buy. Some would call me crazy for wanting a 1965 "classic" but '65 is the peak of my childhood (10 years old and a Dad who loved boating) and I always thought that Chris Crafts were cool as I do now. My biggest question is the hull fiberglass? I was looking at a photo and can't tell. The interior is varnished and the deck might also be wood, but did the 65 28' "runabout" ( no cabin, flush front deck) have a fiberglass hull and wood interior, deck? Also was ther inherent problems with this model below the floorboards like wood interior keel and/or wood stringers that might have deteriorated?, something to look out for
    Thanks
