    More than likely a rock Moto. I'd do a pressure test on the drive to verify it is not cracked anywhere.

    I should elaborate in the sway. It is very very easy to move that small distance. My girlfriend was at the wheel turning left to right while I was at the out drive. She could not notice me moving it side to side from the wheel. Just felt like a little slop in steering to me.
    Maybe that is useful info...

    So what about having a professional go inspect it? I work hard for my money an like to spend it wise so if having someone inspect it saves me from a big mistake I'm all for it.

    I would Moto.......I think it would be money well spent
    IMO the price is high for what it sounds like , but ultimately it boils down to how bad you want the boat.

    Do these inspectors go by a particular term? Just curious what to look for so I can make some calls.

    They are usually called a "Boat Surveyor". I would think around 300-400 for the service from what I see online.

    Seems like a lot of "Free" play to me Moto. I would really think about a professional survey of the boat.
