New used boat advice?

[Cardinal Sin]

Hi,
New to iboats, but been reading the posts
I found a boat I am interested in buying, but know nothing about it!

It is a 1986 Chris Craft Scropian, and it has 650 hours on it, with a Mercuriser Alpha One. It has a little storage area in the front. It seem to run fine, but needs to be cleaned up. Could not find any patches on the hull or soft spots on the floor.

Anything I should be looking for or anything that is a issue with these boats?

Thanks,
Mike

You need to hire a marine surveyor to inspect the hull, engine, outdrive, wiring, and helm. There are literally dozens and dozens of things to check.
