The Avy C4 is a kick butt boat, especially for surfing and rough water riding. My lightning C4 is based on that boat's hull, but is slightly smaller and narrower. Couple things to think about:
1. Is it a storm 1, 2 or 3? 3 has the most options. If you have hard tanks in the rear, I'm assuming you probably have the hydraulic center tab and all the goods. Likely a storm 3 which is good.
2. I have no idea if you can lookup past incidents with a boat's HIN, but it's worth a call to your insurance company to ask.
3. I would need a photo, but it sounds like your tanks are filling that opening. To run an enzo sac, you would need to remove the hard tank.
When looking at the boat, look for cracks in the tower, gel coat and underside. Check for water leaks around the prop shaft. Make sure it idles well, holds speed correctly on the perfect pass, etc. Go through the whole list of buttons to ensure everything does what it does. Check for corrosion around the motor mounts, engine block, v-drive, as well as, under the driver helm.
Does it have the black scorpion 330 or the standard Mercruiser? The scorpion was an upgrade and worth it.
