    before you buy, absolutly get a professional marine surveyor to inspect the boat. they are experienced people that will give you an unbiased opinion of the boat. the small cost may save you money and a disaster. take the advice of a boat owner for 60 years and 20 boats of all makes and types.

    Take Winnie's advice and get it surveyed. The history does not matter. What matters is its condition.
