Seem to come across a few older vessels that, at least online, look quite clean and in decent condition.
For instance, a 1978 Defever 43' for sale on here.
What is the realistic lifespan of these older vessels?
Not necessarily the electrical / mechanical systems, as I know they essentially require constant maintenance, but the structure of the vessel .... hull, decks, etc?
thanks for any advice!
