Is it possible to take it out for a good hard couple a hour run? That usually will show most problems. Like MJ said give it a good checking around the transom and look down in the bait boxes at the end of the stringers. Take a rubber mallet and give it a good tap test over the transom. listen for a dead or hollow sound, which indicates a rotten wood core. Good luck!
