Bill, I don’t have twins, never had, but, I thought all twins are counter rotation. Original owners manuals, I think on the SeaRay site but not sure. Somebody will reply. You

Thanks for that info as I was having difficulty locating info for the 1991.Very cool. Have fun with it. Keep in mind, when looking for things, that the 92-93 290 was the same boat as the 90-91 270
Likely the shower sump.Can you tell me what the whit plastic box is for under the floor in the salon in front of the head. It has as float switch and a pump. Is this a holding tank for the wast water?mis it for the head or the sinks?
Wow! How did rot that extensive ever happen? A neglectful owner allowed it to happen and to continue over many years. Our '93 290 DA is rock solid. I would do a very thorough check for other areas that were also neglected.
There is no doubt it could be a very nice boat. Just ask the question why that area was very wet for so long? Not a year or two but perhaps 10. Is the fresh water tank leaking? Rot is a fungus that eats wood. It needs warmth, food (the wood), moisture and time. When things are kept dry, as they should be, it cannot grow. The gray gel-coat must have been cracked to allow the water at the wood. The shower sump design is not the best, either. It does pump most of the water out but after use, we always dry ours out thoroughly, as well. You say "the issue has be taken into account... " but did that adjustment compensate you for more concealed damage in that area or replacement of the fresh water tank?Thanks for the reply.
In the owners defence it has probably been there awhile with Covid lockdowns etc in Australia. The boat has been stored in a dry dock for over 12 months. Taking into account 2 years of on again off again lockdowns in Melbourne. Also I believe it was only discovered when a soft spot was noticed and the glass was peeled off so looks worse now than it probably did originally on visual inspection The issue has already been taken into account regards to pricing of the boat. The rest of the boat is solid with no soft spots. Good clean cabin with kitchen and mid birth. It's also twin engine which is nice. All electrics are new.
