Wow, that is one clean F-32...and it's right across the river. That poor guy paid more for those Yanmars than he gonna get for the boat. Did you see he even had guage sets at both helms. What a beauty.

I'm think a turbine engine would work best:

Not a fresh re-do

not a recent repower, but nice... Reserve is probably near $50k ... cheap still.

I was impressed with how clean the exterior is. It seems like if he spent all that dough to get the power right and the outside painted, he'd update the moave interior. To each his own.

I've finally found a model for my next repower:

it will be interesting to see what this boat brings for those of us with diesel F-32's... especialy given the market. Any thoughts on price impact of age versus condition? ex. older better shape versus newer worse shape?

hp?

Post by JuiceClark »

I wonder how many hp those Yanmars are? Maybe I could buy it and switch all the engines, wiring, etc. May be the cheapest route now that I've thought about it.

Figure I could sell it for that much with fresh 454s in there. Would be pretty quick too.

Pretty good idea RWS...
