Yeah man, that sounds cool- I'd make sure you take it out for a good test drive, and really see how it acts on the water.
Something you'll want to know - What year is the motor? Is there any way you can find out how many hours have been put on it?
Really, what is important is that you take it to a proper boat mechanic and have him do a full inspection. Then you will know what it is going to take to maintain this boat.
Dont forget- NDOW is now enforcing the boaters license law.
They say that if you were born after 1983 you need to take a test to get a boaters license.
I think that if you are going to be driving a boat (no matter how old you are) you should get the free booklet from an NDOW office and take the test.
It is loaded with all the proper boating knowledge that so many people out there lack. I know there are a lot of boating "incidents" that could be avoided if some people only knew what they were supposed to be doing while driving a boat.
I don't mean to rant, but it's a good quiz to take.
Anyway- Congrats on the boat!
