Definitely get an engine surveyor and make sure he does oil analysis on the engine and generator. And analysis on the transmission fluid. And pressure check on the cooling system. There are two cutlass bearings on the shaft. Make sure they are in good condition. Replacement requires generally dropping the ruder and removing the shaft an labor intensive and expensive proposition.
