Anything in particular we should watch for in the survey? Other than

Have the fuel tanks pressure tested as part of the survey. They were
typically made from mild steel, aka black iron, and are prone to
rusting. It's a big job to replace them, but frequently needed.

The 120 hp Lehmans have some interesting quirks but I'm not overly
conversant with the issues since my 49 has DD671s. Parts are alleged
