Hello Everyone,
I am a newbe to the site and am looking to purchase a 2001 380 from Florida. The boat has 8.1s engines with 375 hours. According to the broker all mercruiser upgrades were done about 1 month ago. I fly down to do the sea trial and survey on 3/9. I was wondering if anyone used the brokers surveyor or should I get my own. Survey costs are being estimated at 1000.00 including haul out. Also the broker indicates that Mercruiser techs did a full analysis of the motors inclusive of compression checks and I will get that report. I am on lake Ontario and am a little nervous about salt water boats, should I be?
Thanks for any input.
