The main had no reefing at least none he had ever tested. The head was supposed to be good too, I specifically asked about it before the trip. After a couple of days I take a look see my self and notice it does not flush and looks nasty. I ask about it and he said it was working before. I ask when he had last pumped the holding tank. He said never as they had the boat for 3 years and never used the head but his son was up last weekend.

About a year ago wasn't there was a thread on what to check on a 'new to you' boat before leaving the dock for a delivery? I'm pretty casual about things, but I don't think I would have left the dock on this boat.
