You don't say what year it is, but the older ones have marine grade plywood for floors, so has it been stored outside or inside? need to check the floors and the transom if stored outside. If its been stored inside and looks clean, then it probably is a good boat. I have an 04 PT 175 with a 60 2 stroke, runs good, I think of getting something a bit bigger (wider) but I'm so use to mine, just can't bring myself to do it.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
