Hello,<br /><br />I am planning on buying a 1993 Four Winns Fish/Ski from a guy this week if the test drive on Pleasent goes well. I am going to be meeting the guy out at Pleasent on Wednesday to take it for a test drive and was wondering what I should look at while out on the water? It has a 1993 140hp Johnson V4 on the back of it. The boats look to be in great shape, he started the motor up at his house on Sunday it ran great. Also can anybody recommend a good place to get it tuned up at? I am in N. Phoenix (Happy Valley/I17) preferably some place that won't have the boat for two weeks. Any information would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mike :D

I would run the heckout of it during the test. I would also take compression readings & check for water in the gear oil.<br /><br />Review any paperwork the seller has paying particular interest in the last time the water pump & t-stats were changed. If all is up to snuff you may bypass the tune up for this season.
