A lot of the boats are getting up there in age. Mine is a 2001 model but honestly isn't showing any lasting signs of age. This winter I plan on redoing the bottoms AGAIN since Spring Fever screwed over my last bottom job and I also plan on re-painting the mast.
Larry had a lot of work done on his boat and let me tell you, it looked brand spankin new. Its amazing just what a little TLC does for these boats. As far as stiffness is concerned, I really have no way of accurately measuring it other than bow walking... and mine has negligible bow walk after I've seated the beams.
