FWIW I had a wet swim platform/delamination issue on my 2001 340DA, and it ended up costing $4,400 to repair in 2010.
I agree. I walked from one who didn't even bother to take out the trash from last year in the cabin or wipe down the dirty seats. This one has an absentee owner, estate type situation so it makes a little sense.All sound like easy enough fixes if you’re willing to spend the money on the platform, but the rest of the boat would have to be very nice and priced fairly because I’d be a bit skeptical about buying a boat from someone who deferred replacement of things as simple as a shower sump pump and bilge pump. Particularly one who offered it up for sale that way.
Would be kind of a “WTF” moment for me.
So on sea trial it ran 4300 rpm (engine tag says 4000-4400). Pushed 31.1 knots (gps) down river. Lightly loaded (3 people and low fuel) and dinged up props.Sump pump and bilge pumps are relatively simple jobs just a pain to get to.
Prop dings are typical and a good prop shop will get them as good or not better than new.
The 2000 swim platform is not integrated so access will be easier.
So far if the price is right no reason to walk.
Now, let's see the results of the sea trial and engine reports.

Sounds like props are doing what they should do. Deduct the cost of repairing the props and other stuff from your offer. Tune the props to achieve 4400 WOT. Assume you ran it at WOT for a minute or so to see if there are any overheating issues.So on sea trial it ran 4300 rpm (engine tag says 4000-4400). Pushed 31.1 knots (gps) down river.

Props are 17 x 16.
Even so, the executor will want to broom it out. Buyer has some leverage here.Without knowing the price maybe this estate sale boat has already been heavily discounted
Yeah the four things listed, plus others, where all "surprises."
