A low hour boat can have as justification two things, either it hasn't been used much or not used much due to a problem.
At least go for a test run before spending money and run it hard while checking the gauges. You could convince a marine mech.guy,

it sounds full but DO NOT buy until you have an experienced marine mechanic check the engine. a boat that old can have a serious problem with manifolds and risers. if they are rusted emotionally it can leak water into the cylinders and ruin the engine.
