Hi people,
I bought a sx19 4.3L last week. Before that i had a zodiac, this boat is a nice boot
with lots of space.
My first ride with this boat was sunday and it was great !
The boot is from 2007 and i am the second owner, it has 100 hours and the first owner
only changed oil.
Must i give it a full inspection ?

Regards
Diego

Welcome aboard Diego. Unless you have a full service history of the boat, i would certainly consider having a good marine mechanic give the boat a full inspection for peace of mind. Little things like the water pump impeller in the outdrive can ruin a good day on the water if it fails. It's the kind of item that should be replaced every 3-4 yrs and since you made no mention of it ever being replaced, its a good time to change it. Have them change all the fluids & filters, give the electricals a check over to make sure everything works properly, ensure the motor/outdrive has been winterized if necessary, check the hull for any blisters/gouges/cracks that need to be fixed before any water gets into the fibreglass, treat the upholstery to a good cleaning & UV protectorant and you will have a boat that will give you many years of good service.
