I am going to look at a Chrysler 20 on Saturday to purchase. The price is unbeatable and I am super excited.
I like many before me am looking for more info on the Chrysler 20.
Are there any common issues I should be looking for?
The deck, is it balsa cored or plywood cored or solid glass?
I have seen so little info about this boat, if I get it I will probably use this post or another if forum rules dictate to document everything I can about the boat.
I will take measurements, and videos and pictures galore!!
Thanks for any help guys!

So I picked her up today!!
For what I paid I think I made out quite well.
The boat is the gold with the white stripe. The hull is in decent condition, but the front of the keel (looks like an iron rusty ballast bolted in) and the rudder shaft looks a bit corroded.
My Bristol 29 has bronze shafts, any one know what the original material was for this rudder shaft?
The boat was uncovered and the cockpit filled with a bit of water that then froze, so I will start heating it all up tomorrow to try and get that stuff out (I have since covered her all up).
I have not been down below yet, but I did peek inside, and there is some standing water that will need to be evacuated asap!
I will keep you all posted, and perhaps some pictures when I get some daylight.
