Good all around tandem for flatwater and rivers

More pictures would be helpful for a full diagnostic, lol. From the few you have included, my immediate concern would be why is the weave from the glass showing? It almost looks like someone put another sheath of fiberglass cloth on the hull. It appears to me that the hull has been stored outside for a long period of time. The gunwales and deck as shown look like they will all need to be replaced. Not a big deal if you have basic woodworking skills. The chip out of the gel coat on the stem is easily fixed with some thickened epoxy.

Some closer pictures of both the inside and outside of the hull would be helpful in determining the full cure.

A concern I raised earlier. I have seen this before on sun-baked hulls, where the epoxy seems to have been 'cooked off'. Some folks apply a new coat of epoxy on the outside if the cloth is not too brittle. I was also concerned that the hull had been stored hanging from the lining holes; over time some sag can be induced, even on a composite hull. More rocker?
