I think that thing is sweet, I would be concerned as to what exactly he means by he replaced the bulkheads up front and in back. Replacing bulkheads is tough on a open hull type of boat, and would be very expensive work to have done by a mariner. Maybe he did it and did not do the job right.
I have seen a couple of them here in Jersey, they are usually flying by even in a chop, seem like it would be a good choppy water boat, but with that deep deep V hull and narrow beam I bet it drifts like a rocking chair.
