Just joined the forum. I have an opportunity to purchase a 2000 cobia repro for half NADA value. The boat has been sitting for more then a year. It has a 200hp yamaha saltwater11 I have never owned a boat and but now live on the bay and putting a lift in. the depth of my water at low tide is very shallow 14". Most people in the neighborhood own boats of this size and time the tides. I really don't know what I shouldbe looking for an I'm concerned about an engine just sitting. Could anyone give me an ide if I should just forget the Cobia and look for something else or what to look for in the Cobia to protect myself. If anyone has information on another boat that would be better suited for the Cheasapeake bay and how shallow my water is at low tide please advise.
