[QUOTE="SumDumGuy, post: 375715, member: 12459"] I think a lot will depend on how much you are paying for the boat and etceteras. If you are buying a combo for 600 bucks or something I am doubtful you will be getting a test ride. the best you can do is to check it over real well and be prepared to do some work. A motor should be able to be started in a trashcan or similar. If this is not done it's value is that of a dead core because we all know they ran great the last time they were used, sure. You can also tell a lot about the experience of the owner and how they probably treated/maintained the motor when they start it up. So, what are you looking at getting? A nice, requires some work couple hundred dollar gem? Or perhaps one of them there mortgage boats? [/QUOTE]
