Liner boat issue
I have recently sold an 06 25 Outlaw and am in the market for a 29 or 30. I have read that the 30 is one model of the "liner" boats and have been known to develop stress cracks which are unrepairable. Are all years suspect? Is the cause HP/torque? The reason I ask is because the one I will be looking at is an 04 with 6.2"s. Where will these cracks originate and are they easely identified? Any and all information is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Whatever you do make sure you have it surveyed prior to buying. I know of several "liner boats" with hull issues and anything prior to 06 will have zero warranty from anyone.
I wouldn't buy any boat without having a survey done on it. It's money well spent.

What are you looking to spend? I'd stay away from 2004 30 Outlaws many that year had problems. This one is pretty well set up: http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o37642-en.html
