$200 Mechanical survey saved me 15k!
So, just got the survey results from a boat I was about to buy. Port 160,110,80,89,110,140,100,105. Starboard was just as bad. Oil was spewing out the breathers, gear oil was overflowing the resivoirs.
Best part was the add, it said "extremely well cared for!"

Money well spent. Seems like I recall advising to have owner or local shop to do one. Ya that hardly fits the within 10% rule of thumb. Glad you had checked out and hope others see this thread. If I recall it was on a power quest and about 4 or 6 hours away. Good for you!!! Sometimes things work out. If price would have warranted rebuilds that's one thing but if not then continue your search. I have a feeling seller more than likely knew. Difficult to say but not your problem anymore. It cost you less than a half tank of gas.
