Got the survey back today. No rot. Yippee. But, there were other issues that made me back out of the sale. Darn it. Now I'm back to shopping again. Found a sunsation i am very interested in, costs more but probably worth it. Now I have to find a budget stretcher.

What was wrong with it??

What were the issues? Check my earlier post; issue-free 272 with low hours, and no disappointments. Sunsation's a nice boat also!

Thanks for the offer puzzleboy but I wanted 2000 or newer. Found and bought an 03 Sunsation MCOB this past weekend. Loved the boat.

The issues with the Baja I had surveyed were:
not charging
Running hot
Lower unit oil alarm was unplugged. When plugged in it went off all the time. Even with oil in the reservoir.
Miss in engine (suspected plug wires)

And a few more items that fell under general boat maintenance. All probably fixable I just did not want to pay 28k and have to take it right to my boat mechanic to figure out the issues. Surveys do save you dollars for sure.

I'd be happy to post pics if I knew how. I don't have a url for the pics, they are on my computer. When I click the insert image button it wants a url.
