Looking at a 2002 21i, worried about gelcoat cracks

[tri_slarson]

Sold my 07 21i a few years ago and now wanting to rejoin the Tige family.
I recently found a 2002 21i with only 300 hours.
The boat is in good shape except for a lot of cracks in the deck gelcoat. It seems like most of the screws in the deck have a crack coming from them.

Just want some opinions if I should run away from this boat?

Thanks.

I have an 04 21i and alot of my screws on the top deck also has gel coat cracks coming from them. I would think thats to be expected on a 10 year old boat in your case. You could definately use that to your advantage to get the price down where your comfortable .02

No big deal. They are just cosmetic and can be fixed. Use it to your advantage.

No issues there. My '99 21v had the same type of thing when I bought it at the beginning of the season. Purely cosmetic from what I can see, and it really hasn't gotten any worse with over 140 hours of use thus far.
