I appreciate everyone's feedback.
Frank, I talked to the surveryor, and his opinion of the boat was dependent on use. He said that if I were to approach it as a floating condo, the interior is in great condition and perfect for that use. If I were to go out there and blast through 4-5 footers routinely, he would be a bit more concerned. At the time we talked, he didn't identify a point of ingress, but I can reach out to him tomorrow to pick his brain more.
As a 25 year old boat, I expected some moisture in the hull. I would have been ok with some higher reading near problem areas, but I'm not sure I have the stomach to remediate the entire side of the boat.
This boat does have the underwater exhausts, not the waterline exits as others may have. I think my next step is going to be to see if the seller will agree to drilling some sample holes to better determine what we have. I am expecting to hear from him today. Hopefully I'll know more shortly.
