Buying my first Seacraft, how does this one look?

[Yachtie]

Hey guys and gals, First time posting.

Been looking for my first classic seacraft the last few months and I think I've found my candidate. I've left a deposit but have not seen the boat as it's a good 4 hrs away from me.

It's a 88, one owner boat. Husband past away and the wife put it in storage for the last 8 yrs.

The wife does not know any history on what the husband did with it but from what I can see in pictures is what appears to be a newer solid transom with a stainless marine bracket.

Not sure if that would have been standard back then?

They are unsure on the fuel tank and whether it was stored with fuel. (It's on consignment at a used boat lot)

The motor has good compression and they replaced a bunch of parts on it and have it running with there fuel tank.

I've left a deposit and the price without me actually seeing it yet is 7,500 with the trailer.

Let me know what your thoughts are. I'm concerned about the fuel tank. If it was stored with fuel are the original tanks still good after all these years?

They say the boat is in immaculate condition. No soft spots. Solid as a rock everywhere.
