Rust and corrosion happen when metal parts set, and when an engine sits long enough it can happen to the internals of the engine. It will look spotless on the outside, but be a rustball inside. Best thing you can do BEFORE even making an offer is find a surveyor or somebidy to take al ook at it who knows boats(espescially what to look for on boats that have set).

Great advice! Thanks. I was planning a look see today with the agent but based on your advice and some experience I will pass on this boat. Some sucker will come along and pay the $9,995.00.
I like the Maycraft lines and will probably go for a new one. $22,000 or so but a splurge I can handle and my wife is "on-board".
