I am new to owning a Grady White, but an ex Coasty and know its reputation well. I am seriously looking at a 85 206 Overnighter with a 200hp OMC. It is a fresh water boat and looks to be in excellent condition. Hull is sound, transom is sound, electronics are 5 years old, I looked behind the console and it was just a little dusty with no corrosion, the steering is smooth. I am doing a compression test tomorrow and will get it running next week to do sea trials. It looks like I will get it for around $5500. Am I missing anything? Does anyone have any knowledge of the weight? Also What are your thoughts on the OMC engines? I know they are not made and haven't been for some time, it is hard to find information on them. I am told it has very little hours on it and was well maintained. Compression test with tell the truth. It has some damage to the skag, and was told it hit bottom 10 years ago. It was serviced and pronounced fine. Thanks in advance
