Good luck with the B-liner sea trial. Hope it goes well.
Here is just one example of what "can" happen on an older/budget boat. Posted today on another forum.
"Hello everyone. I picked up a 1993 Horizon 190 2 months ago after selling my 87 regal 19'. Just wanted something newer styling with a built in swim deck. Well I got that purchased for $3400. The day after I bought it maiden voyage it shut off. Engine locked up due to improper winterization cracked block all the good stuff, it ran great on water muffs. Seller claimed he did it right and was not at fault. "
So new owner bought a re-built engine and is putting that in the boat, that cost him as much as the whole boat. So, buyer beware.
