Question for the group. I looked at a boat today and the surveyor mentioned moisture in the cockpit floor although it was not flexing or soft. It's a 19-year-old grady gulf stream. Is this to be expected in an older boat or should I run away? The transom seemed good but the boat rides low in...

Thanks Peter.

Yup - it's a crap shoot on 12-year-old motors. All you can do is have an adequate survey done and hope for the best. On the positive side, I spoke with my friend who is a newly retired Yamaha mechanic and he said he's seen these engines run 2000, 3000 hours. The engines currently have 600 hours.

Hello all. I'm new to this forum. I've put a deposit on the 2005 Gulfstream with twin 2012 Yamaha 150s. The survey is this week. Anyone have this model / year who has thoughts on specific things I should focus on would be greatly appreciated.
