Hi Sea Ray enthusiasts!
I have the opportunity to purchase a 1996 Sea Ray 210 Signature, a friends boat.
The boat is almost 25 years old has been well loved and used by the family and has roughly 500 hours on the clock. The boat has had regular services and is in good condition for its age. Everything seems in good nick and working order for its age.
Ideally I'd like a boat that is going to last my family about 10 years, maybe more and I'm concerned about the age and hours, as well as getting spares if there is a problem. The engine is a Mercruiser 5.7l.
Any recommendations or thoughts from the community would be greatly appreciated.
I wouldn't buy a 25 year old car, but I understand that boats are treated differently.
Thank you
Hamish
