buying a boat

[gregr1971]

When you go to their house, look at how they maintain their yard, garage, are vehicles clean, etc...
Big indicator.

In my case, I have boat parts and crap every where, but I bet my boat, bike, or truck won't leave me stranded!

I had mine plugged into the computer that told me hours and rpm history. Mine were four stroke Yamaha but I'm sure the vmax is probably the same

LOL! I've had cars that I had over 300,000 miles on, but don't look too closely at my yard!

If ya remove the "Obama 2012" signs, you'd get yard of the Month!!

Thanks for all the tips guys! Y'all are a wealth of information. I think this post doubled my boat knowledge. We will definitely be bringing the boat in for a professional to look at. Wouldn't buy it otherwise, I just wanted to know the basics so I wouldn't be wasting my time taking in an obviously flawed boat. Thanks again, y'll are the reason this site is so awesome!!!!!

The SX Motors cant be plugged into Yamaha Diagnostic Software to get hours off it.
