Looking at a 27 sea ray. It has 160's in it looking at the boat it looks like it is in really good condition. The owner took care of the boat nice. BUT it the engin room their was oil in the bilage. The engins are fresh water cooled and have about 1000 hours on them. The engins sounded good but I am scared about the oil. Also about the hours on 4 cyclenders. risers and elbows all taken care of. Just change. Can anyone tell me if this engins have problems with leaking oil not the first boat I seen like this Price is right at 12,000 thanks JOE
