So I'm looking at a kind of rough 2000 Maristar 210. 900 hours. Rough upholstery. Dead gauges (computer) no stereo but does have a monster tower. I water tested it today and it cranks well and runs strong. I noticed what I would describe as a rattle from the vdrive (maybe) in reverse idle. My wife noticed a high pitched wine that varied with speed (maybe a gear noise?) I've never driven a vdrive before but the seller says the rattle has been there since he bought the boat in 2013 and believes it to be normal. Shifting from forward to reverse is smooth, engagement is smooth. But I could use some advice from the gurus. Here is a link to the video the seller sent me. I also posted the link in a WTB thread I started before I had seen the boat. If I need to pull that down or move one of these threads please let me know. Is this worth 15K or ??? Thanks to all!
