I agree, second opinion to verify is a good idea. Then maybe a third one if the first two are far apart. In general selling anything is a PIA. Good luck.

Buy the boat, see if you enjoy it as is. If so, repower with some Merc 300’s and don’t look back. That should get you to the low 80’s mark. That is the limit for the hull safely. Enjoy.
