The Broker said no sea trails for the boat because of it's low asking price, and it was 4000 firm.

You think I could change his opinion bigshrimpin?
Probably not . . . I'll bet the motor won't start or doesn't run well and that the trim and tilt is porked. Do yourself a favor and find another boat . . . You already know that broker is full of hot air.

IF you are still hung up on the boat . . . Bring a compression tester and see what the motor tests at . . . take some photos of the wiring and the tilt hoses/motor. Don't make any offer without a decent Sea Trial.
