Jax,
The 90hp is on the minimal horsepower side but is a good engine and you will get good mileage on a tank of gas. Definitely keep the weight in the boat down to 2-3 people, etc and don't plan on adding a T-top/electronics box but keep it light. You really need to have a sea trial with 3 people in the boat and a full tank of gas etc to see how it planes with just a 90hp.
The 2002 Bay 190 should have two bow concavites on the outside of the hull about where the trolling motor battery compartment is on the deck. Pay close attention to them when doing your hull inspection for cracks as well as any of the thru hulls and drains.
Make sure all the cusions are present for the seats, fishing chair on bow, baitwell drain pipe and turn on the well pump and bilge to make sure they run. Triumphs are real user friendly to working on in the backyard but they are a little different and the more you can read on this site the better.
Finally, get the hull serial number and call Triumph directly and have them confirm that you can transfer the lifetime warranty and for how much? It could be a deal breaker or maker. If not transferrable, you should be able to negotiate a lower price....maybe substantially.
Good luck and ask questions,
