    Make sure all of the electricals work, particularly the trim/trailer switch cuz if its not working (and assuming its a merc outdrive) you have to remove the outdrive to replace the trim/tilt sensors.

    Interior trim pieces and glass are very hard to find so make sure they are in good condition. Ask to see his maintenance records to confirm the boat has been properly winterized each fall. Test run the boat with muffs on the outdrive or even better get it on the water for a test run.

    Let us know what you find?
