I bought a 2000 X-Star with a completely refinished hull. They completely removed the engine & drivetrain, flipped the boat upside down, finished with totally new jelcoat, and then reassembled. I never would have considered buying without a guarantee, but it seemed good and has held up for 4 years just fine. Of course, we meticulously clean every time and wax pretty often, but I doubt that makes for much better wear. Just trailering it instead of keeping it in the water for long periods of time is probably the main reason why it is holding up well.
