Always recommended to have a hull and mechanical surveys done ahead of time to make sure even the "cleanest looking" boat doesn't have some underlying problems.

Corrosion on the outdrive, specifically the rear bearing carrier. Props have to be removed to see it, and it takes "special" wrenches (2 and 1/4 for the inner and 1 7/8 for the outer, I think).
It should have closed cooling, so make sure the coolant is full and that the boat runs the proper temp.
