Welcome aboard

Like buying any boat perform a test run and have a mechanic checkout the engine and drive if you don't have the knowledge. A survey of the rest of the boat is a good thing as well.

Take a IR heat detector with you and check engine and exhaust temps (surveyor should do this).

Don't approach a dock any faster than you're willing to hit it.
