I am part owner is a boat rental/charter company in Florida.
We buy Crest boats because they hold up better then most.

Look underneath for:
Broken welds, corroded parts and floor rot. Check electrical for
operation and corrosion. Have a mechanic check out the engine.
Check the trailer for bearings, springs, bunks, wench, hitch and lights.

Sold the ski boat, looking for a pontoon to cruise around on. What
are some good questions to ask the seller? Things to look for?

I'm assuming:
hours on engine
leaks (would these be detectable on a test run?)
wood rot (if wood floor)

Others would be obvious, condition of interior, etc.

What else?
