Hello Everyone,<br /><br />I'll be looking at this boat in a day or two. Here are some specs and here are some pictures of that model boat (not actual boat). The boat has a 5.0L (carb) Mercruiser and comes with trailer and the normal compliment of goodies (anchor, life jackets, fire extinguisher, etc). It only has about 40 hours on the hour meter. It has been stored outside under a full size mooring canvas since it was new. It has always been trailered (no bottom paint) and never been run in saltwater. The owner did say the mooring canvas is about shot. He only used the boat 1 time last summer. The gasoline in the boat is about 1.5 years old. The owner said the gas was stabilized but he would not use it. He also said it was "professionally maintained". The boat is currently winterized. <br /><br />I kindly ask for your advice and opinions. Should I be worried about the old gas? What damage (if any) could the old gas have already caused and how much do you think it would cost to get fixed? Should the lack of use (about 40 hours) be of concern? The owner is asking about 13K. Do you think its a good deal?
