I do have a few concerns & was hoping to get some feedback here.

- Fuel tank algae growth

- Yanmar hasn't been run since on the hard (1 year)

- Hull integrity as it has been on stands

I appreciate any advice.
In my opinion, you would be well advised to have the boat surveyed by someone of your own choosing. Even if you have to fly them in.
Additionally you should inspect the vessel personally. Never buy a boat unseen.
