Default I need advise on this vessel

http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o28132-en.html

I have been talking to Shogrens about this ride. I have never had and don't know chit about prochargers. We have come to a numbers agreement but I need to know about mill maintenance with the prochargers. What about the B Max drives?

I'd be a little concerned about the milky drive lube in the port bottle, and the almost zero lube in the starboard bottle. Other than that it looks like a sweet Black Thunder!

Looks like a very nice boat.... but I would be concerned with the drive lube situation. Have them thoroughly checked!!!

Agree on the hot header. Agree on the milky and missing drive lube and will add that the cabin sole carpet doesnt look quite right, looks discolored like maybe it was wet for a long time???????????

Also look on the back of the transom on the port side, behind the browned header, looks like it is black or sooty...

Here's the explaination: starboard drive is off the boat for "leaking seal" hmmmm. Milky fluid is "not milky, that's the torx (sp?) torque (sp?) drive fluid that B Max recommends. Again, hmmmm. When I asked about specifics regarding the lowers, which aren't the original B Max, told "don't know much about 'em." WTF??
