Familyman, I have an 84 and found the structural damage originated at the joints where the stringers meet the ribs. There are 1" holes that Wellcraft cut through the stringers back in the bilge area. I would feel inside them and check the wood. Also the fuel tank area has cutouts on the top of the starboard stringer for fuel line fill line and vent hose the wood is exposed there too if you can get to it check it there. As far as the hull they are very solid hulls, and a great ride.
