I’m looking at a 1994 P2 that I’m planning to buy. Has a 94 150 Mercury XRi. Looks good for its age. What’s somethings to check for that don’t appear obvious. Many thanks in advance. I love the look of this older BC model.

I just went through the same thing last fall when I bought my 94 P2. Here is a couple things I missed checking at the time of purchase that I had to take care of when I got it home.Check for soft spots around the drain in front of the seat. I checked up on the deck but wasn’t paying close enough attention to the floor.Check out the super dash and make sure the LCD works and if everything on it is working. It was daytime when I looked mine over and didn’t think about it. The owner said it worked fine but when I got it home the LCD was out. The buttons all worked but I couldn’t read anything on the dash. I had to purchase the analog conversion dash. 400 to replace Check all the pumps out. That boat has 6 pumps in it. 2 for the bilge and 4 for the live well. Pump in, pump out, recirculator and aerator. 30-50 each to replace.None of these option are deal breakers but if you know about these issues up front you might negotiate a lower purchase price or you can at least plan on the repairs for when you get the boat home.

I will add on the pumps that they can be working, but weak. This can be hard to tell. I would ask if have ever had to replace any of the pumps. Also make sure that the tie down straps and wench on the trailer are working properly. They are not hard to replace, but might help you knock a little off the price.1997 Pantera Classic1999 Mercury 200 OptiMax25 Pitch TempestBobs 6″ Action Hydraulic Jack Plate

Was that LCD conversion hard to do? His works but the backlight is out. Tech says he can’t replace the light. Also is this an all fiberglass hull? Can the battery test gauge up front be replaced?

A 1994 will not be all fiberglass.The battery test gauge can be replaced. The new ones that Bass Cat is using now are smaller around. I am sure you can find a replacement one that is the same size, but it will take some looking on the internet.1997 Pantera Classic1999 Mercury 200 OptiMax25 Pitch TempestBobs 6″ Action Hydraulic Jack Plate

The conversion kit was not hard it was just tedious. You have to but splice about 20 or so wires. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
