I'm looking at purchasing an 87 nautique 2001 I'm just wondering what I should look for in forms of possible issues. I went to look at boat this evening but it got dark to quickly for me to get a good look. The boat did have 2" of water above the floor and in the bilge due to drain plug hole being clogged, not sure what damage could be have been done. I also noticed a decent crack on drivers side of hull just above the keel. I'm pretty sure I will be getting this boat regardless only due to the price the guy is asking too good to pass up unless the boat was cracked bow to Stern and trashed completely inside but interior did appear to be decent for age just dirty and some mildew. Any thoughts on what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Also according to owner boat was last ran in 2006 and sat inside for storage until this summer when he stored it at his buddies shop outside
