A couple of major concerns that are not obvious when looking at the boat.

1. Fuel Tank Cover which is the removable part of the floor.
Are there any soft spots?
Any bubbles or bulges in the floor?

2. Fuel Tank
Is there any water in the fuel system?
Are there any fuel leaks underneath the floor?

The rest is fairly obvious but also take a look at the transom. Does it have any cracks or bulging?

thanks that was good to hear as i just read the story of a repair on floor and also how to replace the fuel tank the transom is or may be a concern as the owner says he is running a 200 hp motor on the back and i read that this boat is only rated for a max of 150 hp care to comment
