Hi all
Newbie currently looking at a few boats in my search for the perfect one. I'm limited in initial budget, so some of the vessels I'm considering have been on the hard for more than a couple of years.
One in particular has twin Ford Lehman's that the seller states "worked great until I pulled the boat". It hasn't been in the water for 3 years.
The rest of the boat looks well kept and good shape except for an obvious need to re-caulk the teak decking.
So how do I evaluate the engines. If the fluids are changed, can they be turned over out of water? Newbie question Background is all sailboats, so I appreciate any suggestions!
