Advice for buying a boat

[Tarponjim]

Its the motors, those damn motors. Take it to a mechanic for a diagnostic test, as well as a water test. Boats, they either float, float and leak, or sink. An eye test and water test will tell you which it is. Electronics and wiring--see if they're clean. Turn on every electrical switch. Wiggle stuff around and look for poor or corroded (green) connections. Check livewell and bilge pumps and hoses. Check any fittings on a fiberglass boat for leakage.

Trust your eyes on the boat, and trust a mechanic on the motor.

And, if you live anywhere in reach of Hyrum/Logan, take it to Lee!
