Buying a used Lagoon 500

• Standing rigging older than about ten years is often questioned by insurers – check its age.
• Ask when the saildrive seals were last replaced and check the engines’ service history.
• Inspect both hulls, keels and rudders for grounding damage and check the bridgedeck for cracks.
• Many Lagoon boats come out of charter fleets. Ask for the full maintenance log and read our guide Ex-charter or owner’s version?.
