I'm looking at a very well cared for '89 Vegas XT with '89 Merc 200 XRi, hydraulic jack, CLE gearcase, trim on wheel, foot throttle. First owner added bow tank and ski tripod. Boat looks like it's only a few years old. No rot in the wooden seat bases. All original. No hull damage. First owner kept the boat in a barn between uses, second owner kept it on his covered lift. The rear corners of the splashwell do have the typical small stress cracks. I have not tested the transom yet.

Question: MUST I assume the core is shot? Is it at all possible this boat could be dry and undamaged?
If I have to assume it needs a re-core, who's the closest GOOD rebuilder near south west Michigan? What is a good price for this boat, assuming it possibly (probably?) needs work?
Thanks in advance,
JW
