Hello all,
I'm upgrading from a 19ft jet boat into a cruiser. Sitting out in the sun and riding the water at 60 mph wasn't really my thing. So after a few years of debating I am finally going to bite the bullet on my first Maxum. I'm really in love with the SCR models and I hope to own a larger SCR one day but the 2400 will have to suffice for now. I've been out to see this boat at least three times and I've only found cosmetic issues. I'm planning on taking it for a sea trail next week to make sure their are no leaks anywhere and look over a few more things.
I've overlooked the boat in and out, and it appears to be in immaculate condition except for the outdrive.
I notice that the outdrive if fairly corroded and I was wondering if you guys can help tell me how bad it is. I don't mind replacing it since i hear its really not that hard. But if I need to replace it, I'll have to give him a lower offer.
Let me know what you guys can see and if you need any other type of information. The fluid and engine oil was replaced last fall and appears to be very clean.
The boat is a 1994 Maxum SCR with the 5.7 260 HP Alpha 1 outdrive.
