I am going to look at a used Challenger. Please tell me what I should be looking for. It has 155 hours on it, and that makes me a little nervous. 2nd owner does not have service records for first 130 hours, so no way to know what was done for Supercharger. Boat is VERY clean and no scratches...can I assume that means it was taken care of including maintenance?

Be very careful. Just because it is clean does not mean the engine (S) are in good shape. A compression/leak down test is in order. Crawl under her and inspect the impeller (S). This is a good indicator of proper maintenance. I'd love to come check it out with you... but I am locked down..lol
Really check the engine area closely. Most people get caught up in the stereo, seats, lights, etc... but the engine area is the most important thing to check thoroughly
Another area to check with Challengers is the exhaust cooling system. Check for blockage in the exhaust cooling lines and look at the hoses and plastic resonator. If all check out well, go for it. The 2012 Challenger is an awesome boat that will give you, your family and friends a ton of fun!
The Challenger also has an extra seat for the front...could check to see if that is still available.
Check the gauge cluster and buttons as well.

Thanks, signed the deal she is coming home next week.
That is outstanding. You will not regret it. We love our 2010 180 Challenger SE. It has provided us a ton of enjoyment.
