hello fellow addicts,, i'm interested in getting into boating but, have no experience with it. can anyone give me some advice on what to look for in buying a used boat ,, and i mean used, boats i've been looking at are in the 21-23' range,, from 1988 down to 1981,, and in the 6,000 to 4,000 dollar range,, is it worth to hire a marine surveyor for something this old. i know that from one post all questions can't be answered , just need to know what immediate items that i need to consider. i know it's going to be a money pit, just want to try to avoid the tittanic ,, any tips suggestions will be greatly appreciated,, or if there's any marine mechanics out there that can come with me to look over a boat, i will be glad to pay for your time,, thanks, leo
