1969 24' Cobia any good?

[25thmustang]

Alright I might be picking up a 1969 24' Cobia soon. Boat needs to be restored and that doesn't scare me, just wondering if it is worth it. Assuming a solid transom, floors, and needing all the cosmetic, machanical work, are the older Cobias decent boats?

Also if anyone knows the weight, I would appreciate it, or any links to information on a boat like this.

Thanks

Brian

Thanks for the information, so under 5000 lbs on a trailer?

figure gas gear etc, plus the weight of the trailer. i would go tandem axle, with brakes.
