Yes, what Charlie said.
Some things to check in general, sorry don't know the model so cannot give any specific problem areas but these are good places to start with any
boat (beyond what you already said)
You didn't list this but I'm sure you will be checking the
hull for
blisters, damage, delaminaion, etc. Not saying these
boats are known for that, just something that could cost you to fix.
Then standard other stuff, check the
rudder for play (aside from any slack or
play in the
steering which you should also check), shaft alignment, cutlass bearing, look at the
motor mounts.
Fuel tanks. Are they accessible for
cleaning or replacement if needed? Some
boats the
tanks are built in requiring destruction of the
interior to get them out. Look at the glass in the
water separator to see if there is black gunk,
water or anything besides
fuel. Try to take the
boat out where there will be some wave action, rock and roll, and look at the bowl again when you get back to see if the rolling stirred up anything in the tanks.
Check the
mast step, chainplates.
Look inside the lockers, behind cabinets, around the
ports and hatches, everywhere that is hard to see, for evidence of
leaks or water damage. Not a deal breaker but will tell you what you need to seal or rebed down the road.
Bulkheads. Tabbed in tight, no separation from the
hull. Same for the floors.
Shake all the stancions.
Good luck and have fun.
