Default finally buying a new fishing boat (new to me)

I forgot the new prop is a 15 pitch the old one was a 17 pitch, how is this
going to affect performance on this boat?

Well,
I am finally doing it!
I am going to buy a 1999 Crestliner 1750 Fishhawk with a 2000 Mercury 90
hp 2 stroke engine a new Lowrance 7" screen 17X gps fishfinder, (it also
has another new Lowrance 7" screen fishfinder mounted up front but I
forgot the model number.) new stainless prop, and a new Minnkota power
drive 24 volt trolling motor. This boat looks brand new. It has less than
50 hours total time on it. It also has a new marine radio (vhf). A guy I
work with is asking 10,000.00 USD. He's even throwing in a box loaded with
muskie lures.This should be my retirement boat. Pending a compression test
and a trial run of the boat of course. The skeg and hull look brand new!

The only issue I can see is the woodgrain on the trim the gauges mounts in
is faded and has white spots on it like the sun? or heat? from being
covered up distorted it.

Any suggestions as to what to look for on this boat... any faults....
known problems...etc..?


Fredo
