Possible purchase of a 2003 osprey 175...what to look for
« on: June 16, 2013, 09:19:20 AM »
Hi everyone, I recently sold my 1979 170 and I'm looking for a new boat. Found a really clean well maintained 03 osprey 175 with a 90 HP 2 stroke Johnson for 8500.00. Price is negotiable  .Aside from one of the guages having condensation in it, the boat looks pristine. My questions are : is there anything I should be specifically looking for concerning this boat? I know it has a live well in the front console seat but not sure if it has wash down. all help / info will be appreciated.
Thanks, Arnaldo.

Do you have any more specific questions re: performance, must-haves, must-nots?

Thanks for your reply Ryan. As for performance I'm sure she'll do well if propped right. I was more worried about the live well and the pump that operates it. As well as the raw water pick up...are these problematic leak prone areas is what I want to know.
Thanks.
Ps great link by the way...

Make sure everything works,pumps lights etc,and take the outboard to an OMC tech to have it checked out.Make an offer contingent on a water test and enjoy!Those are great boats :cheers:
