Default Possible Purchase - Opinions Needed, 17ft 1989 Sea Ray Seville Bowrider

Hi All,

I'm looking at potentially purchasing a 17ft 1989 Sea Ray Seville Bowrider with the following features:
- am/fm/cd with 4 speakers
- depth finder
- bilge pump
- 100hp merc outboard, compression 119, 120, 118, 120
- trailer with 2 new tires
- 1 stainless prop and 1 aluminum prop
- new bimini
- saltwater use

Seller is asking $3,500. Is this reasonable?

Are there any specific problem areas I should look out for? What would regular maintenance be like for a boat like this?

I grew up around boats, but this will be my first purchase, so I don't want to overlook anything.

Thanks,
Scott
