I am purchasing a 270 Sea Ray Sundancer and would like any advice on doing the survey of it tomorrow. I am mainly concerned about areas where I can inspect stringers and weak points of the vessel that I should inspect. It has twin 4 bangers (488 mercruisers w/ 4" heat exchangers. This is my first post here. I grew up on a boat yard on lake Michigan and have experience w/ stringer repair and replacement.
Mainly looking for advice on what to watch of for on this model from someone who has this boat and/or engines.

Thanks a ton everyone, this forum is sooo cool!

As for the boat, you look for the same thing in just about everyone of them, rotten stringers and transoms. As they age there aren't really any specific things on any of them, they all fail in the same way. water leaks in from every possible point (above and below the waterline) and destroys everything it comes in contact with.

And for the motors, I have no idea.
