Looking to buy a new-to-me nautique

[W.U.S.S.]

I have been out of the scene for a while, but I am looking at a 1990 SN. It has 900hrs on it and is in good shape for a 18year old boat. Dealer is buffing out the gel and replacing the decals. The floor seems solid, Int. is in good shape. I have not heard it run yet. Besides that what should I be looking for, or be concerned about.

basic cables - steering, throttle, etc. Then a compression test might not be a bad idea.

Here's a little something I and some other people worked up a year or so ago. I've tried to make it as generic as possible, but I was a MC owner when I did it, so it's geared toward MC. A 90 SN will still have wood in it, so proceed accordingly.

Thanks for all of the great advice! I can't wait to get back to look at it.

You mean pre-'93.
