    hi Tim,

    There isn't anything special with the Davanti that you need to watch out for other than the usual stuff like trim pieces, ensuring the electrical items all work and particularly look at the cuddy door as it will be very difficult to replace if broken.

    +1 with what mikeyt said. One word of advice, don't buy the boat without doing a water trial first.

    If you've got a few hundred extra to spare, you could hire a marine surveyor to go through the boat with a fine-tooth comb and give you a professional opinion. They'll check everything from the moisture levels in the hull, compression in the engine, outdrive, everything mechanical and electrical, and even as far as the bulbs in the lights.

    Good luck, and we hope to have you as part of the Mariah family soon!
