Hi all,

I am new to the forum and am looking to purchase this 2001 Dolphin Rengade. My only concerns before pulling the trigger on this purchase are these small spider cracks in the transom as well as some 5200 covering some dings in the hull. I have attached pictures for more detail. Are these a major concern? Boat is powered by a 70hp Yami. The boat is priced well and would appreciate some knowledgeable advice.

Thanks very much in advance for your insights!

I’m not an expert. But the spider cracks on a sharp radius are quite normal. Especially if those are in a deck cap that is bonded to the hull/transom. Investigate the actual hull more. 5200 covering some bad gouges looks like someone abuses that boat hard and doesn’t fix things right.
