Could you expand upon the leaking part. Does it have a crack or a hole?

What do you mean by apply resin to the bottom? Are you thinking of just coating the bottom with a resin or are you referring to fairing?

If the boat is leaking then chances are you're in for a new transom, stringers and deck.

I'm going by what the owner said it only leaks a little. I have not seen the boat. These are great little fishing boats and I have always wanted one. I just need to know and guess cost to redo the bottom by what ever means. as a haggling point. After i purchase it I will inspect and take pictures and get back with the board to figure the best way to proceed.
