hey guys, i have a question. i am researching a 23' pilot house parker, its a south carolina boat for sale in maryland, so finding out its history is near to impossible, is the site, boat history.com ($ 35.00) worth it . after looking it over its looks good , and i am having a compression test done on it. there is a smell of gas in the bilge, it seems to have been sitting for 2 years (last reg is 06). so i am hoping the gas smell is from a leaky fuel filter also the steering cables are not attached to the wheel, any ideas, the hull looks good no cracks or spider lines, the motor is a 225 yamaha salt water series 97. no known hours. well what do you thinks thanks...
would you buy this boat???

go and look at it. If it looks to be in good shape, hire a surveyor and mechanic to go over the boat.
Good luck!

How much???? That is the most important factor.

Same motor that I have (1997 225 hp SWS II). It has been a great motor on my boat.
Fuel smells can mean a minor repair, so as B-Faithful suggests... if you are serious about the boat, have her surveyed.
Sometimes a minor problem can bring the purchase price down to where you can make a quick deal.
Good luck!
