So i bought my first boat, tested it in the lake, all is good right? No, as i got it hme and started doing more research i discovered a long list of things needing repair. A little info on the boat. Its a 20 foot Marlin Bowrider with mercruiser 4.3 I/O Alpha one. Motor is 6 months old, and upolstery is also 6 months old, thats the good news. I paid 2000 for boat and trailer. The bad. Floor has soft spot, dont know how i missed it. The transom is half rotted. The gel coat has some spider cracking not too bad. Hiding behind one of the beams of the trailer was a crack 2 inches long 1/4 ich wide that was into the fiberglass. Given the boat price and info is this worth fixing. Any advice would be appreciated i am a rookie to the boat world and i think i might be screwed.
