May not leak when sitting still, most likely the water got pushed under hatch on way home, its a good boat I dont think you will have any issues, he is honest dude and was in no rush to sell, so I am sure he told you all... he knows how it is in the boat buisness so you know..
yea, he kept it inside at work also, helped keep it nice..

320/SS set up was rare and really fast for an "sbc/alpha" boat! Would have loved to see a Force 265 with that and surprise the hell outta some bigger boy's when you roll on by doing 70+

Yeah, it went very well for the time. The VDO speedo (way before gps) would always read 74-75. He ran it for many years in the ocean with minimal structural issues.

Yea that def could have been the problem.. ill check it after a few days to see if it does it again. im excited for next year tho epically since i haven't seen one of these in my area let alone the twin set up. im sure itll surprise alot of people either way haha. we took it out and in some pretty bad chop we were going 60-63 on gps so i figure on less chop/calm water she cooks.

Welcome! Mine's an '87, but basically the same boat!
I'm beginning to think Baja bought marron and grey paint and fabric. So many of their boats from that era have the same colors, just different configuaration.
The fridge comes out easily with just a few screws around the front edge. You can then check your wiring.
