considering 05 XLV - some questions
Hi everyone, obviously new here. I am looking at an 05 XLV. IT appears to be a gravity games edition. I have a few questions I'm hoping people can answer:
-How can I tell if it truly is a GG boat? What options are in the GG package? I'm told it has an upgraded engine but I can't find specs or how to tell for sure. I can't find a list of options for 05 anywhere.
-It is in pretty nice shape, but there is a small crack that has been repaired. It is located next to the plate that the drive shaft comes out of on the bottom. I'd say it's about 2" long. It has been repaired, but not very well. There is clear caulk around the metal plate that I'm not sure is factory. The dealer said they will have their gelcoat guy fix this. Should I be concerned about more damage than is obvious? I can send a picture if anyone is willing to take a look.
-It does not have perfect pass. I'm probably going to add this myself-I'm told the install is not too bad. Should I replace a speedo or put it elsewhere? The dealer is having the paddle wheel replaced, but I think I may wait to get the GPS PP system that is coming out soon. Is buying direct the best way to do it?
-It's been on a lift-would this exposure to the elements damage the tower speakers over time? Can I easily add tower lights?
-It sounded sort of whiney in reverse, but it may just be normal gearbox noise.
-the tower rattled a bit. The tower mirror also shook somewhat, especially at idle.
Anything else I should look at? It has 110 hours. The interior looked decent and it drove pretty well.
Thanks a ton.
