Besides the obvious cosmetics... If you can get under it, take a good look at the wear ring and impeller. I would strongly suggest a water test and gun it from a dead stop to check for cavitation which could be an indicator of required maintenance/repairs.
Look to see if it has been sitting on a charger or if the battery is strong enough to start it after storage.
Couldn't agree more with everything you say. While I hate to overpay for anything bottom feeding on price is especially risky. Know what your buying and don't assume anything the seller says is true. Trust but verify lol
Now here's a primo low hr speedster for sale but not a fire sale boat. 12k but nearly flawless with fresh 127 supercharger and green giant bosch 42 injectors-new oem impeller and wear ring-upgraded bluetooth kenwood head unit with remote and speakers-new aluminum wheels and factory karavan full led lighting upgrade-perfect interior. Runs 60 gps with two adults
If the supercharger can't be verified as updated, I would ask to pull the hose off and see if you can spin the turbine with your finger, if so, it's a sure sign it's blown the ceramic washers. But this would also be very apparent in a water test.
Would check all the little things; bilge, blower, listen to each speaker individually, etc.. none of these would be deal breakers for me but the last thing you want is a list a projects as soon as you buy it.
If you water test it check the coolant tank after running it good to make sure it's full and not discolored.
Trailer lights, bearings, winch, tires... little things that could have degraded in 10 years of Florida sunshine.
Open anything that could be hiding damage or be non functional: storage boxes, hatches etc
Open the bimini or any canvas or covers that it comes with to make sure they aren't damaged. Same of they hand you a folded floor carpet.
Check steering, throttle and shifter for binding cables/linkages.
...All little things I learned buying a boat from a scam artist! Hope they help[/
