You apparently misunderstood me. Was the prior life of the boat in
sal****er or freshwater? Sal****er is corrosive and damaging to the engine
and I/O.

Does the owner have receipts or logs showing the maintenance done on this
boat? If not, I would walk away from it as you could be looking at some
major repairs on both the engine and outdrive.

Ok.sorry.thanks for the reply.....The prior owner was an older woman.
She kept it in the water at a marina. (salt water NY) The marina has a
very good reputation. They can furnish me with all the maintenence
reciepts over the years. This 1994 looks better than a lot of newer
boats I have seen. There's got to be a certain price point where this
boat becomes a good deal. I will have to purchase a trailer if I decide
to buy.
