Good day folks,
I am new here and new to GW boats so help of any level is very much appreciated.
So, I am looking at a 1998 Malin 300. Repowered with new 2 x Yamaha 250 (4 stroke) 2019 models with the heavier duty commercial H series gear box (could be a correction needed here).
All in all the boat looks in good condition (on line). I will be going to see the boat this week.
My question is what to look for in general and in particular. The through hull fittings being plastic for example? and should I change these to another material.
What work should I consider to budget for to improve a Marlin 300 ?
Any advice on a gen set , brand and advice on installation
My use of the boat: I will be fishing , chilling and over night family trips.
Max distance from shoreline 60 km.
Note: I will be getting an out of water survey and then a captain to sea trial also.
Thank you for your help and lets see where this adventure takes me
