While the price may be attractive, not knowing exactly what was maintained,
and you being new to boating, a 12 year old boat may yield a less than
desirable experience.

I am interested in purchasing a 1994 sea ray laguna with 175 merc o/b.
I am a little new to boating and am nervous about a 12 y/o motor. I do
believe it was owned by an older woman and well maintained over the
years by a reputable mechanic. It has been kept in the water over the
years in the NY area. It looks to be in great condition. Should I stay
away from a motor this old?
