Today's contestants are.... 1997 Carver 400 CPMY. 6BTA's. New isinglass on bridge and aft deck. New exterior upholstery. No major corrosion...
JD Power numbers I'm seeing are probably gassers. That lines up pretty close to what has sold. Thanks for looking.
The age isn't an immediate concern because I am a cash buyer, but it will make resale harder. The boat in question has had 2 deals so far die...
I have a Slingshot wake foil, kiteboards and kites. I learned the efoil on a Lift3 last summer but never pulled the trigger on one. The...
Wife found a 2007 391 Meridian Sedan. The layout works and it looks like a nice boat. Asking is $247k and JD Power retail is $165k. Either JD...
So we set out on a 5 day mission last week to find a boat. On the list were the following... 2005 Silverton 43, Cummns 5.9 BTA's. 1997...
Agree. We looked at a Silverton last week. Aftercooler hose clamps appeared to be corroded in place, yet engines and aftercoolers were serviced...
What would a guy expect to pay for a full service on this engine and transmission. Raw water impeller, oil change, after cooler service, and...
I wouldn't be afraid of it. Problem is we don't fish so a sport fisher doesn't really work for us.
Found a nice Meridian 459 today just walking the dock. Chatted up the owner and come to find out he wants to sell. He gave us the 50 cent tour....
I'm looking at everything that fits. We were scheduled to look at a '96 Tolly with 3208TA's today but someone wrote a contract on it and beat me...
We looked at a Silverton 43 yesterday and the smell of raw sewage just about knocked me to my knees. When I looked below deck the holding that...
Saw some with Cummins 480CE's which is evidently the 6CTA 8.3. These are 2000+ model boats. I've seen some comments regarding dropping valves...
I'd guess that the Alaskan was pretty much topped out at 8 maybe 10 kts. That was a long time ago. I was in my teens. I remember my grand...
Guys....Any serious complaints about DD 6V53TI's? I did a forum search and this thread is the only one that came up. Ad says they are rated at...
Thanks guys. I really am looking at everything that fits less than 300K within a days drive. I agree on the engine room. Most of these boats,...
Never said I would buy it, but sometimes we do things just to make the wife happy. :) Pretty sure she will talk herself out of it after seeing it.
I'm looking at everything. Which one do you consider a mut? The Atkinson is nice and has Nordhvn vibe, but has QSM11 at 660HP. Seems like a lot...
I've looked at a few with 6BTA's CTA's. A few with Cat 3126's. A few with DD671TI and TIB. I would probably consider a 3208 natural. Off the...
And being a '76 buyer might have insurance or financing issues, unless paying cash. From what I've been seeing though, when they walk away after...
