[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 274012, member: 166"] Earl has posted a pretty good list. You didn't say if you were buying a aluminum or fiberglass boat, but I'm going to assume aluminum since you are posting in an aluminum boats forum. The biggest thing to look for is a solid basis for what you're wanting to do. In other words, is the boat itself fundamentally sound? What kind of time and effort is it going to take to get it where you can start using it for the intended purpose? How big a boat is it? How worn are the accessories, etc? Are they use-able or just junk? How much do you want to pay? Can you get more boat for less money if you're willing to put some sweat equity into it? All these things factor in. Biggest thing to do is think about how much boat you want, what you're going to do with the boat, where you're going to use it and go from there. [/QUOTE]
