THESE BOATS ARE NOW A MINIMUM OF 30 YEARS OLD. MOST OF THEM WERE STEEL SO LOOK FOR RUST OUTS IN THE BILGE AND CANOPY AREAS.

I have a 52 ft seagoing as OHB said check the hull inside for heavy rust and the front canopy will brob. be roted. other than that i love my boat ,handels like a sow becouse of stern drives instead of v drives but you can get used to it.

BEACHHOG, THE ONLY THING I COULD FIND ABOUT SHIFTING IS THE CLUTCH FREE-PLAY ADJUSTMENT WHICH ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE BULETIN IS 5/32" TO 3/16" FREE PLAY, IF YOU WANT I CAN SCAN THIS AND SEND IT TO YOU.
