Default Velocity 390 Purchase Opinion

Hello everyone. I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2000 Velocity 390 with HP500 and Bravo 1 drives.
I had a boat survey done everything with Hull checks out with 1 note that I may be over thinking.
Transom moisture reading "med to high" at different spots in the transom but inspection guy said

" the boat is 25 years old and its normal. It is indicating there is med to high moisture in the wood coring of the transom. All hammer percussion soundings were good."

The boat mechanically ran fine. Think needs bigger props...has 26p Bravo Props.


Seller asking 59k, inspection guy valued it at 54k. Should I close on this deal? I'm flying up to Florida to see boat in person on Tuesday.
