On good trick to buying a used fiberglass boat is to take a flashlight. 
Shine the light on the scratches from inside the hull. If you see a spider 
web pattern flowing out from  the scratched area this is an indication of 
possible structual damage to the boat and you may want to reconsider buying 
it.
