From my own experience mate just make sure that any extras you've asked/paid for are there. When I picked up my new boat a few years ago it was missing a vhf and bilge pump, despite being assured on the phone beforehand it was all ready to go.....
No biggy in the scheme of things but I'm glad I picked that up before I drove off with it and discovered later...

if the fact you're asking this question means you are new to boating then make sure that the salesman shows you how everything works and also shows you how to look after everything, even hit him up for any tips on basic maintenance for anything you've purchased.
