The engine may still be good, but the drive may be problematic
depending on the type.

Yes the smaller boat market is turning into a "buyer's" market, but at
this price, it could be more problems than it's worth. You really
need to check it out completely before committing.

Well, I just found a great buy on a late 90's Glastron cuddy, glass
19.5' with a 140hp Merc. outboard and trailer for 2 grand. Looks like
that's the way I'm going to go.

Thanks for the info about OMC. It's a shame because I spotted quite a
few nice boats. Now I see most of the really cheap buys have an OMC and
I now know the reason.
