Hello, I am a newby and would like some advice and honest advice. We made an offer on a 1988 searay express cruiser with original 7.4 l inboard mercruiser FWC motors, showing 1359 hrs on the motors. The boat appears to be well maintained however I am worred about the amount of hrs. Is this something that I should worry about. I am also in search of fuel consumption numbers at different speeds and rpm. The broker tells me that I should get about 1 mile per gal at 20 knots, so that would equate to about 20 gals/ hr.
Also there are cracks in the gelcoat around the side exhaust for the motors and generator, should I be concerned about this?
Thank you in advance for your support and direction
