FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used day cruiser?

Check hull integrity for blisters or repairs, engine hours and service history, outdrive or sterndrive condition, wiring and electronics, upholstery and fittings, and signs of leaks or soft spots. Hire a marine surveyor for a full inspection and sea trial.

How do I arrange shipping or transport for a day cruiser?

Small day cruisers can go on trailers; larger ones need professional boat transport on cradles or by sea. Confirm permits, width/height limits, cradle support, lifting gear for launching, insurance and cradling to prevent hull stress during transit.

What routine maintenance keeps a day cruiser reliable?

Follow engine oil and filter changes, inspect and change lower unit/gear oil, check cooling system and impeller, replace sacrificial anodes, service batteries and bilge pumps, apply antifouling as needed, and winterize systems for cold storage.
