Hello all,

I am going to look at a 2003 Mastercraft X2 this weekend. It was purchased by the current owner with 121 hours in 2005 and the boat now has 155 hours.

So in 4 years the boat has been used 34 hour.

So here's the question, what happens to a boat that's not used much and what should I look for that could go wrong due to lack of use?

Oil, hoses, belts & gaskets.

I bought a 94 MC 205 in 99 that had 59 hrs on it. Every hose & belt got replaced in the first 30 days whether I liked it or not.

Thanks for the suggestion but not big on the B-52's look. The 205V hull is my favorite wake out of the boats I've been behind.

I looked at the boat today and decided not to get it. Wasn't the right color and was just a little more than I wanted to pay. Thanks for the responses.
