I'm looking to buy my first real boat, I've got my eye on a 92 Tuffy Esox Magnum with a console. It is has a 115 on it and a 24V trolling motor system. I'm just looking for some feedback on the boat and any tips to look for when examining a 19 year old fiberglass boat. I mostly muskie fish. The boat has front and back decks.

Check the floors and transom to make sure they are solid. Look under the boat to make sure no damage is there from impacts, etc.

I would recommend a compression check on the motor cylinders. I would also suggest you take it to a dealer to have a once over if you are buying from the owner. Also a ride in it with everything checked for proper working order wether from a dealer or an owner.
