Default Re: Questions on buying a seacraft

3 major things, 1 transom, has it been redone? are there spots where holes have been drilled ie transducers, swim ladder, kicker bracket, that can let moisture in and lead to rot. 2 Deck has it been redone? is it soft anywhere? 3 fuel tank. is it original? new? has it been pressure tested or cleaned? these are the major things to consider on the hull.
Now on the motor you would want to have the motor inspected by your mechanic if possible. Btw a friend here in s fl just bought an 01 for 12k in pertty decent shape. If you are unsure i would call in a surveyor, its cheap compared to repair bills that can be neccesary.
