My '97 had a soft spot between dagger pocket and tramp track, I hear that's common. Scott's transom got nice and ... flexible, too much lifting via the rudder casting. My front crossbar was cracked on the underside near the rivets on port and starboard. I've seen a bunch with some significant looking cracks on the inside of the hulls where the crossbars bolt up. As SRM says... check everything! As I understand it, the issue with the older ones breaking at the seam in the bow was solved by '96, and even if it wasn't, it probably would have died by now if it were an issue. Good Luck.
