Reason: Back on Market
Last trip I did 90 miles with cruise of 34 mph/most of the 90. Got 2.27 mpg. Motors are very fuel efficient but boat is very heavy. With fuel tanks full (252 gallons) boat weighs over 6,000lbs. Top end is mid 40's.
It is back on the market people because he was not honest about the hours with me. One hour meter reads 38, and the other in the high 100's Be careful buying this boat. I backed out of the deal when he finally admitted it had about 170 hours on the boat. If you look at his responses back in Oct. he admitted it had 140 hours. but he tried to sell me the boat indicating it actually had 30's on it.. Said someone left the key on and it ran the hour meter up. A dealer told me this is not possible on these engines.. So I backed out of this dishonest deal.
Also, his fuel guages, salt water wash down, fresh water wash down/sink, one trim indicator, and anchor light do not work. Also. someone ran the leading edges of the spoons into something, and instead of having it fixed professionally by a fiberglass company he attempted to fix it with Marine Tex. This needs to be ground out, and fiberglassed. He also does not have maintenance records from the company he bought this boat at auction.
