tell me what to look out for?"

Cindy, Almost all boats have shortcomings, at least in the price range most
folks are looking at. I'm 90% happy with my '99 2052 Trophy (Bayliner). Good
boat for the bucks but I bought it new and take good care of it. As others
have mensioned with a used boat (car, truck,airplane,house) the previous owners
care is the deciding factor. Having a surveyor look at it really isn't that
expensive and would provide piece of mind.
Happy times!
