Thanks for your input. I am looking at a couple of boats. Seems a lot of people let the rigging sit for years without giving it a thought. I just think a 35 year old rigging no matter how good it looks is going to be a bit suspect. Especially since it was in salt water use. But the rod is really expensive and kind of makes one pause. As far as DIY I am thinking along the line of having the line spliced professionally, but doing most of the install work myself. I don't think I woudl want to try splicing rigging as my first splice project! Even with training. But I would want to learn how to splice it as it seems that it would be good to be able to do a repair if caught out there with an issue.
