might buy 25 switzer
Does anyone know of a good/ reasonable boat inspector near centreville md.? Going to check out a 1988 25' switzer. Less than 50 he's on 454. Mild cam. Roller rockers. Ect. New gel coat and paint two yr ago. I know to check stringers. Transome. Bellows ect. Original interior in good condition for age. $5500. Should I be scared of new paint? Thanks for any advice! Thoughts welcome.

I have been in one running 80 mph and it handled good. they have a pad bottom that hits hard in rough water . Quality was always pretty good for what it is. Look around the swim platform for cracks and delamination.
