I have wanted a boat for as long as I can remember but it has never been a possibility. A friend of my dad's has his boat being kept at his place and I see it all the time and I'm considering getting it as I know it can be had for what seems cheap.
The boat is basically exactly what I want. The style and era I like. 93 four winns 180 freedom with a 140 hp outboard.
My concern is all I hear about is history or maintenance and care is what matters for older boats. I do know that this boat has spent some time not being covered properly and the interior is in rough shape. The trailer is good and the exterior of the boat seems good.
I have checked many threads and haven't seemed to really be able to figure out how to really inspect the transom, stringers, etc so I need a bit of guidance. I would love to save this boat if I can get it cheap enough. Can't really find much on this particular boat.
I look forward to your help, I'm mechanically inclined but boats are new to me.
