If the floor is buckling there must be more of a problem than just that..

do yourself a favor.....have a qualified glass guy like Rob from Raybo look it over before you bite off more than you can chew....

if you go to a reputable glass guy and feel hes BEATING YOU OVER THE HEAD you are getting in too deep.....spend a few dollars more and buy a better boat and you will avoid issues...

Like ghost said do yourself a favor and stay away from projects unless you are skilled enough to work on it yourself or love the boat so much your willing to drop some dough b/c most likely major issues come back no matter who works on the boat..if there is a problem with stringers STTTAYYY AWWAYY...once you get involved with compicated stuff itll get expensive and pain in ass..good luck tho w/ w/e boat you get

at the very least you need a floor, and there might be more then you cant see until the floor comes up.

Pass on the boat and look for another one.

hey im looking for a deal. i have cash lots of people need cash looking for a deal dont see anything wrong with that as for the corsa was a lot of money to send out without even seeing a boat. this twister is super cheap i am asking to see if its worth it dont see the harm there. thank you everyone for the help. just seemed like a decent deal for a 24ft under 5k thank you Chris
