I'm going to purchase my first boat & motor this week (used). The boat is 16' long. Very light 4 seater. The boat is a 1990 Crestliner. The motor is a 1990 70 HP Mercury. From the photos the motor and boat look very well taken care of. It looks like I could eat off the motor. An old guy has it and I don't think it was run very hard. I am taking a compression tester with me when I go to get it just in case these is something the old guy doesn't know.
Is there anything I should look for when inspecting this engine besides compression? It has power trim too.
Any advice to save me from a terrible transaction would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
