Second owner
Boat always in fresh water
Bellows never changed by current owner, who has owned for 10 yrs
Owner said 'Gimbal' was changed a few years back.
Upholstery good.
Outdrive issues: Unknown
Owner says engine runs perfect (why would he say different ?)
What about this engine hours? What should I be concerned about?
Will be bringing a boat mechanic to survey engine.
Have I missed anything ?
Thank for your feedback in advance !

I have a 19ft 2005 Larson Senza bowrider I've been thinking about selling if your interested. 4.3 Mercruiser also. It's in the water on lake Waukewan and can be test driven. I bought a Jet Ski this past winter and we hardly ever use the boat anymore. If I sell the boat I'm going to buy another Jet Ski. It has no hour clock so I can only judge by what the previous owner told me and he was very honest and in his 60's. I've owned it for 3 years so it should have about 250 hours on it by now
