I've had a 1970 53 MY for two years now, very well built boat... i think the
LRCs are even better.
balsa cored decks coudl be an issue if hardware wasn't attached correctly,
but i think that's probably true of most boats anyway...
the fiberglass tanks (water and fuel) are a big plus... one less thing to
worry about. the rest of the systems are well designed too.
I love my DDs... 8V71Ns. yes they're alittle noisy and leak a little more
than most diesels but they are simple engines. if you need to change the
fuel filters, you just need to reprime the system, no complicated bleeding.
the LRCs had smaller engines but naturals too for simplicity and thousands
of hours between rebuilds... mine barely smoke on a cold start.. a short
puff from stbd engine, nothing on the port engine.
