Hydrostreams

Question
Our family is looking to buy a hydrostream.We found many boats. but many of the boats we found that were in our price range were older boats with older motors. In late 1970's 1980's and some 1990's some people have told me that you shouldnt buy older  boats and motors from people you dont know because you dont know how they treated them. What do think about the subject

Answer
Hi Garet...Thanks for selecting the undersigned to reply to your question.

The truth of the matter is simple..."LET THE BUYER BEWARE!"

Why would you want to buy a boat with no valid history versus one that does have records? The older the boat, the more likelihood the hull could be irrepairably deteriorated, and you have no idea as to how many hours are on the engine, or whether it has been rebuilt or replaced.

Your best bet is to hire a qualified and reputable marine surveyor to inspect the vessel you've selected to purchase, and make the deal reliant upon a passing survey. Often times, the cost of a surveyor has saved people thousands of dollars in repairs. The choice is yours.
