Re: What to look for?
Hans...welcome to the board...I'd be lookin' at the things you'd look for in most any boat...transom: with motor tilted up, slowly put your weight on the foot of the motor...does it feel solid, was there excessive cracking noise, did the owner freak?...signs of a weak or strong transom...cap:walk around the boat pushing up on the rub rail...is the cap and rail well attached to the hull?...walk around all over the floor feeling and listening for soft spots(rotted floor)...is the console well attached to the floor...what fasteners? get under the boat...tap around listenig and looking...on the engine: if you don't do anything else, have a qualified tech do a compression test and check oil in foot...what is fuel tank capacity,where are tanks
Good luck and welcome to the Wellcraft V-20 forum...these guys will do all they can to help you...after you weed through the BS... ;D
