Buying a 73 Seacraft CC I/O

[keith]

Hi Everyone. Great Site!! My name is Keith and I live in the San Francisco East Bay Area. A friend of mine in Oregon has had a 73 Seacraft for 35 years, can no longer use it, and wants to sell it. I am going to buy it from him. What do you think?
It has a 305 mercruiser i/o with 280 hours on the whole setup. He replaced the engine and outdrive about 6 years ago.
It is a larger boat than I have ever had but I want to do more ocean fishing out here so that is a good thing. I also will need to add radar because the fog here can get pretty thick. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Keith
