I have started the process of buying a 2006 M with Yamaha 50 and would like
any insight on Mac-specific things to look out for during a sea trial.
The Mac is getting a survey finished today, and I am hoping to meet with the owner
for a river/coastal sail this weekend.
Thanks!

Re: Sea trial issues
There is not much that can go wrong with these boats. The motor is the most expensive component. Take care to have this checked. Compression, maintenance etc.
