U V and solvents will eventually take their toll on PVC and then if the tubes are glued the adhesive can fail in time. I believe the 645 Brigs were glued. If you like the layout the 645 it is a decent boat, but at 11 years old and glued PVC I’d want a deal that would cover a fair chunk of a possible re tube.
