- 2005 Crownline 250CR, looking to buy a Sea Ray Laguna

- Mecruiser 350 MAG
I put an offer on a 1997 Sea Ray Laguna 18 cc that is for sale for an owner at a Marina. The owner has accepted my offer. I currently have a Crownline 250CR that we love, but wanted a run about to fish and take some quick trips to dinner and in to town. It has a Mercruiser 135 with a power head rebuilt by the marina in 2013. I’ve gone through it from Stem to Stern and other than being dirty from lack of use, is solid. I tapped the hull and looked in every nook and cranny. Bilge pumps, Bimini, horn, chart plotter, live well, trailer and lights all look good. Gel coat looks great as does the hull. In my inspection I noticed a warn starter motor and pinion that only engages sporadically. The marina has agreed to replace the starter motor and Bendex. I will be taking her out for a sea trial once the new starter has been installed. Once I have her home, I will detail her and hopefully bring it back to tip top shape. Anything I else I need to look for. Any tips on this model? Look forward to future postings on the site!
