OO guys, thanks for you're opinions, I found a 20' GW invader cuddy, I offered 3,500, and if some other prospective buyer dosen't buy it today, its mine. 4.3 mercruiser, real nice ungalvanized trailer. Ran good in the water, though even though it had power steering, it didn't feel that easy to turn the wheel, don't know if thats normal. A few things though. I didn't think to check for soft spots in the floor, didn't pull the dipstick to check for sludge or water, can do those next time. Also the boat was in the water, so I'll have to look at the hull when I go back and have him put it on the trailer. Hears the thing, He said theres a small patch on the bottom, would that scare you away, or should I just pound the area with my fist to see if its solid. The condition of the boat is fair to good I guess, a couple small tears in the upoulstry, bottom dirty (stained?) from being in the river. Under the engine cover looked very nice, no corrosion. There was water in there though. It wasn't covered all the way, would that scare you? Thank you again, Joe
