I love your videos. My wife and I
Are looking at marine trader for are next boat. Is there anything I need to pay extra attention to when looking at them?
Hi David! There are a couple of things you should look for: 1) soft decks, 2) leaky fuel tanks, and 3) general engine upkeep since they are old boats! Cheers!
