Advice needed on Atlantic 21's

Hi folks. What are the key things to look out for on ex RNLI Atlantic 21's. Have seen the one for sale on boats and boating talked about. Are there any structural weak points, or issues with ongoing maintenance. Are these boats signficantly heavier than more recreational hulls? I have assumed the hull is very strong, but that the engines must be fairly near the end of their lives? If having to replace the engines, is it pretty much capped at twin 70's, or is there sensible scope to increase this?

Appreciate the advice.
Phil
