The danger with a Zodiac of that age is the seam glue is likely to be already failing or due to very soon... transom & floor etc. This is largely unrelated to how it's looked after just a factor of years since built. They can look totally sound at a viewing where it would be out of order to try and prise seams apart... but on arrival home with a closer look the problems can reveal a huge amount of repair work.
