[QUOTE="makeithappen, post: 3776983, member: 24464"] Great choice going all weld. Rivets are a nightmare. Most people spend their time looking in the boat. I would go over the bottom of the boat and the transom carefully, myself. Cracks should be easy to spot as the paint will chip / flake vs a scrape or a dint (neither of the latter are a big issue unless the dint compromised the hull). Don't trust it running on just motor muffs. Take it for a test drive with the owner and make sure you can get to full throttle, and turning slightly while full throttle to check for hub slippage on the prop. Verify reverse engages correctly and that the pee hole is spitting a steady water stream. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
