Seeking advice: New to Me 1995 220

Is there a verifiable maintenance history, e.g., paper receipts or access to the mechanic? Were there any long periods of non-use? Check carefully all of the electrical systems. At the very least, I'd pay a mechanic to check the engine, outdrive, floor, and hull. You don't want $9K to turn into $15K.

This kind of survey saved this person looking at a 10k boat. This is a great bargaining tool. So instead of 10k is $8500.

Excellent example!

great advise. Thank you. Hoping this all checks out and I can drag this puppy home soon. I have a mechanic scheduled to inspect on Saturday.
