Sponge and maguiers wash while the engine flushes, then spray down with the hose. Floor gets a good wash every few times out with a karcher

Hmm with hydraulic... If they are locked on, I'd first check for surface rust fusing the disc but if your car can't break that, I sure wouldn't be driving that boat behind it as any tow vehicle should unless your brakes are completely stuffed! Then try a bleed from both callipers to prove there is no line blockage. Last would be to remove the particular locked caliper as a split seal can jam them, however it is very rare. I know you said this happened within a few days so surface rust lock is quite unlikely. What did you find it to be?

Better than we did mate... Managed to find some niggles to fix on the boat and a few throwback snapper, flounder.

License sorted last week, thankyou anyway

I don't suppose anyone could pm and suggest someone up around Port Stephens? Also interested for a name in Sydney area if possible

Thanks Geoff, Must admit I did a double take when I saw your reply as you have the same name as the guy selling! It's a late 90s glass hull, 06 yamamerc with low hours, general photos look genuine (eg. not freshly wiped down and sparkling) but will see in person. I'll check all numbers etc. and no problem doing a quick compression test for a little more piece of mind.

Hi All, Long time lurker... having not had much time to fish since moving down to Sydney again, I've decided to pick up a 5.2 - 5.5m half/cuddy cab and get back onto the water! Now to be honest, I'm can build or fix anything mechanically but have basically no experience inspecting a hull for condition & defects. So... I'm after a 3rd party to inspect the boat which is located around Nelson Bay / Port Stephens. Looking around, there seems to be a couple of guys and I was wondering if anyone had dealt with them or can recommend others. I could be completely wrong so am happy to take on feedback. This seems like one of the safer ways to minimise buying a soft soggy lemon and although I have a good local mate who has been boating on and off for about 10-15 years, I'd prefer to spent a little bit and be sure of it. Thanks in advance for any advice! Looking forward to getting more involved on here

Sounds great, thanks for taking the time!

If in Sydney then could be interested for two. Timing is tricky with us however... I'll keep an eye on the thread.
