I am looking at a boat, consigned at a reputable dealer. Boat is in perfect condition, with a 4.3 mpi. It has been in storage (inside and winterized/ prepared for long term storage) for about three years. What problems could this cause. Dealer has run though their shop. What should I look at and ask about, or is it a real problem to be stored that long. Thanks

Three years isn't bad, Most problems would be fuel related and old rubber hoses I think. If it starts and runs good just check for any cracked hoses. I might replace the fuel hoses, fill, vent, and out, just to be sure.

The fuel was drained befor storage. Boat is a 2006 Sea Ray 205. Dealer said it was professionally prepared for storage, and they brought it out of storage for the customer.

Don't be afraid of the boat if it's been prepared by the dealership.

Put in an offer if it's what you want, and go with it. Sea Ray's are super boats, and the 4.3 engines are great.
