welcome to the cult. i don't know your budget or what the project boat cost, but i would consider a later model. i would look for one in the mid 80's up. they have a 25" transom(no notch), self bailing, and a belly tank instead of saddle tanks. no matter which one you select, the transom is the weak spot to check, with the deck next. usually no matter what you select, somebody on here has faced it before.
good luck
