Gulfstar 44 Trawler - What to look out for?

[drewread]

Hi all, I'm considering a GS 44 Trawler.

Had a quick read through the forum for the ubiquitous "I own one and here is what to look out for" post but didn't spot one with a long list of answers... so I'll try starting one.

Any current owners have any special items to be on the lookout for while viewing?

Thanks!

You might get more focused feedback if you state the year and model of the Gulfstar 44 you're considering.
Gulfstars of the 70's are significantly different in design than later models.

I had a newer one and loved it. It was an ‘87 Mark 2.
