Hello All.
I just put a deposit on a 2023 241 w/Merc 300.
I am new to Sailfish but all my research has led me here.
I have a sea trial schedule for next Saturday and to give her a once over.
What should be on my inspection checklist.
TIA Chessie

Welcome! On a new boat, I would make sure you run and test everything, letting it run for a bit to ensure there aren't intermittent issues. Try our all pumps, seacocks, drains, lights, horn, electronics, trim tabs, depthfinder, vhf radio, anchor windlass, and of course the engine at idle and cruising speeds. Make sure that at wide open throttle (WOT) the engine reaches close to the rated max rpm for that engine when you trim it out a bit, but on a fresh motor don't keep it at full throttle for very long...you just want to make sure the prop is the correct pitch and that the engine runs at all rpms smothly. Does the boat feel "good" and balanced when going? Once you look at everything critically, note any items that need adjustment or repair and enjoy the boat after the dealer takes care of those issues
