Hello all,

I’m looking to buy a 2016 AR192 with 30 hours.
The concern i have is the boat has been sitting since april 2019. An oil change was performed by a yamaha dealer at that time and has been sitting since. At the minimum, fuel might be an issue. It did start right up on the hose. Going to water test tomorrow. Any thoughts or concerns? Paying 27k and comes with the nice yamaha cover. Thanks
 
I just read another member had a timing chain fail on a 2016 ar192. I was under the impression that this was resolved for the 2016 MY. Definitely changes my thoughts on this purchase.
