This is Tom, I'm new to this site and looking to buy a 17' Mako but not sure what to be looking for as major problems. I have seen several 1979, 1980 in my area for sale. I'm sure this has already been addressed by members so maybe just direct me to the previous posts. I know the transom can be a problem and soft spot in the hull are not good but maybe there are other areas to watch out for.
