IF I was looking for a boat like this. I'd go with the 48' Fountain express cruiser with triple yanmar's and surface drives. They run fast, are...
That makes sense, and I've seen similar things from Hatteras. It's also possible the boat has had an extension put on and needed them for lift or...
Wait a second. I remember hearing a few people having issues on some of the IPS boats where the exhaust air/bubbles coming out of the drive would...
Ask him for records, or call the local CAT dealer with the serial number. It is possible a non-dealer cat certified mechanic has done the work...
I would guess the issue is fixed and that is why the poster is not on here asking more questions. But, you never know. It would be nice to hear...
It could be used for ventilation of the props. But it looks like drains, for either the cockpit scuppers or bait tanks or generator waterflow etc...

You see them around South Florida from time to time. I've never seen one from the factory with 4-540's. Most of them were rigged with 4-454's...

Yeah and have been for about a year now.......
Yeah, and that wonderful touchscreen control board is around $2400. I had one that kept throwing high salinity, we changed the sensor and it...
It's really easy actually. Remove the props and find a megayacht to tow it over there. hehehhe
I really like the Furuno Navnet system.
I took a look at it and the build quality appears to be pretty good on the Newport. They did a really nice job on the interior woodwork and such....
;) And then some! The parts are pricey. The service is called for every 2 years OR 1000 hours. Most people do the first 2 yr service to...
Remove all of the heat exchangers, change all injectors, adjust valves, standard servicing- oil/filters, fuel filters etc...... Keep in Mind that...
