I have been mostly lurking on the forum here with a few posts trying to educate myself before buying my first cruiser. After a year or so of searching I was able to find a boat here in Seattle close to home! The contract is signed now just going through the process with the Survey coming up.
For those that have lived with this particular year and model(or similar), I wanted to find out what the biggest items to be aware of are on this boat in an inspection. I know there are places I have read about such as rot around the windshield and hatches. Any other known areas or defects to be aware of?
The boat has 6.2L Mercs(480 hrs/320 hp) and has stern drive. It is also fresh water cooled. All comments appreciated!
