Thoughts on / known issues with 2006 Regal 2120 Destiny?

[bccoyne]

I'm considering purchasing a 2006 Regal 2120 Destiny from a private seller. I've looked at the boat at his house and we ran it connected to a hose. It's very clean, in excellent cosmetic condition -- especially for the year -- and everything appears to be functioning properly. Engine is a Volve Penta 5.0L GXi. We're planning a test drive this weekend. Does anyone here have thoughts on or know about issues with this model and engine? What should I be on the lookout for that I might miss on the test drive?

Its a 20 year old boat. it was fine when it left the factory 20 years ago.

from there, maintenance and care are what matters

I'm not sure how much wood was used in the Regal boats during that era, but it should be the rot-resistant type (Perma Panel or Geenwood XL). Even though the boat looks clean, I would poke around in the structure to see if anything looks out of sorts. Soft areas in the floor/decking can be signs of issues.

I am a member of the Regal owner's group over on FB. Mostly random issues mentioned there when I did a quick search on the Destiny models.
