[QUOTE="jasper60103, post: 195555, member: 1810"] I'm no expert, but the best thing you can do is a water test. I didn't water test my boat only to discover it leaked later. The previous owner was a nice guy and fixed it though. Run the motor fast, slow, stop, start, reverse, etc. Check the LU oil for water. If the boat leaks you'll notice it. The wood floors/transom can rot, so be aware of that. Check the trailer for rust, tires, lights. Check if the dealer will warranty it. That will give you piece of mind. Anyway, $1500 is not a bad price if it checks out OK. I like the looks of it. Good luck. Just my 2 cents. edit: missing bow stop. [/QUOTE]
