I am looking at one tomorrow and may take it with me as a new owner. It will only stay with me for a period of transition till i find my dream boat :'D. What do i have to look at specifically for when checking a Microplus 461? Any flaws? Age related.... Transom and any other woodwork for rot, bad repairs to hull etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any proof of what's been done, such as photos are also a bonus. Should be max of a 50hp engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
