[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 452781, member: 19781"] Definitely let him start it and see it running. The other things I look for when buying a boat is the registration history... that boat was paid for in 16 and 17 so you're looking good there. People don't register boats that don't work... Ask questions if it looks like the motor was recently thrown on there just to sell it... Also look at the quality of paint and general appearance of the motor... that's a 20 year old motor with still pretty good looking original paint.... another plus.... in my experience a worn out motor will also look worn out and mistreated on the outside.... From here it doesn't look like a bad risk... [/QUOTE]
