New member. We put a deposit down on a 2008 205 Conquest today and this will be our first Whaler. Although it is a 2008, it was not sold until 2010. It went straight to KY and around 2015 to Lake Erie. We have a dock on the Ohio River for it so it is going South again. The Load Rite trailer is a 2011 and was essentially only used for winter storage. I've already contracted to have the mechanicals and tires updated. Engine is a 150 Verado Digital Troll with 600 hours. 165 compression on all 4 cylinders at 1 hour. We have every service record since new which shows it has been very well cared for. From the manual, it would seem to have every option available at the time. Interior and cushions are 95%.
I've looked at it twice under the shrink wrap. Even using my bore scope to look around under the deck and bilge is clean. We will do a final inspection without the shrink wrap and water trial prior to final payment. Is there anything in particular I should look for with this model. We chose the 205 Conquest for the cuddy and head plus we can trailer it if we want. Thanks, Mike
