iam looking to buy a 1997 3488 bayliner 454 merc's v drives
the surveyer says to inspect manafolds and replace if 7 years old at top end of costs 2800 to 3000 $ is there a history of these manafolds failing more then others
if i replace them are there upgrades some the problems with these are lowered
or iam i just being overly concerned , i read about a same type of boat
needing a repower but dont know why
also seller says he inspected them a year ago, i dont know if that is true since i dont have proof
surveyer said if crusaders not a problem, but merc's had more problems
with water getting into the motors
boat has 245 hours on it in fresh water , bill
