If this has been discussed already, I apologize. I've searched & searched the forums but to no avail....

A local is listing a 13' Boston Whaler "Mustang" with trailer for $1250. From what I gather, there is no such thing as a Mustang and it's most likely a Sport Series. I have not looked at it yet, nor have I seen and pictures. It's got a recently overhauled late 80s Johnson 35 on it.

Now on to my question. When I go look at it, what should I be looking for? Any big "gotchas" that I can avoid I would love to. I know very little about the Whalers in general, although I know their reputation is great and I always hear great things. Seller lives on the river, so I'm worried about whether or not he took it out and beat it up on the rocks. I know a little about boats, learning more & more as time goes on. I own a crappy 14' fiberglass tub of a boat and looking to upgrade.

Thanks!
