I'm new to forums so bear with me. I'm looking at buying a 2002 29' Sea Ray 290 select Ex. I will be using it in fresh water. The boat is from Florida and was used in salt water. It has twin Chevy 350s with alpha I, 504 hours. Bellows replaced, new sea pumps, new impellers, most of the gauges have been replaced along with the wire harness. It does have the raw water cooling system with a fresh water flush system. Marine mechanic who did the above work (marina does not own the boat) said the nuts & bolts were fairly easy to break free and with the outdrives off said they looked recently rebuilt. He also stated minimal corrosion on the motor mounts and starter. My question is with it being in the salt water is there something else I should look for or be aware of.
