I am looking to get a boat and using it mostly for skiing and tubing with 3 people in the boat. This one is a 4cyl not sure if that is going to be a problem or not? Never bought a boat before but have bought cars and always had a mechanic check it out. I guess that is the route to go with boat also? Or can you generally take it out for a spin check the floor and transome and good to go?
This is the write up Thanks for everyone opinions.
1991 dynasty ski boat $2600 . Has very nice Monster Ski bar on it. Has walk thru windshield and seats 8. Engine been winterized every year ive had it. Has brand new 6 ply tires on the trailer. Spent $325 on engine having it checked out last year and $100 on outside. The battery and starter are two or three years old and have warranty. Runs great, but needs interior work. The wood under carpet is still just fine. It has the 140 hp mercruiser 4 cyl engine. selling it because upgrading
