Is it the one in Troy for $12,750?

Looks OK. Engine is a little light. . . a 5.7 or 7.4 would be better, but that's how things go with Sea Rays. Price feels a tad high, see what you can do.

Since there is ample space in the engine compartment, bring the rubber hammer with you and tap around the bullhead, stringers and transom looking for soft spots.

Teds got it right, 5.0 in a 24 ft is light on power, get the biggest engine offered in that year and model and you'll be happy. I've got a 21 ft with the 5.0, more than adequate but if it had 3 more feet you'll be hurting for a 5.7 or bigger.
