    I'm looking at a 1984 21 foot Ski Barge boat. Was told that it was all Fiberglass. It's in good shape for the age and the floors are solid, but I was wondering if anyone on this board would know if in fact it was all Fiberglass. I was thinking that the stringers would be made out of wood, and the boat is nearly 30 years old, so that would be my concern.

    Also have read that these boats were simple, but constructed very well, and were ahead of their time, etc.

    Any information would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.
