Hi everyone! I found a 1986 Malibu Skier for sale with 1100 hours on it. The boat looks to be in good shape, except for some tears in the interior. I’ve never had a boat before and I’ve been wanting get one for years, at $4,500 i figure this would be a good starting point. Before I go and check it out, can anyone share some tips and things to look for? So far I’ve read that the “typical” marine engine lasts for around 1500 hours and the 86 skier is made with wood stringers. I figure a compression check for the engine would be required but I don’t really know anything about fiberglass or how to tell if the stringers are rotten. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
