While I do love my 10 meter express cruiser, the eleven is a far better, more versatile design.

While she can still be easily single handled like the 10, for a simple 3' increase in length, she offers an exponential increase in sheer volume.

Unfortunately, the engines of her day were less than ideal in terms of size, weight and power.

A modern diesel with today's technology for engines & generator make this an ideal boat.

If I had it to do all over again, I would have preferred to start off with the 11.

Can I ask you the total cost of that refit? I've been mulling over refitting my 10.8 Meter.

Its very hard to put an exact number on it to be honest. The 480hp yanmars our cost was around 80g. Now I believe that price has gone up. With this repower we went more in depth with a custom dash as well as new radar,autopilot,upholstery etc. The fuel system was all refitted too. I may be able to work some preliminary numbers if I had some detailed bildge layout pics just to give u an idea . Feel free to give us a call or email and we can.go.from.there

I'd actually be interested in some preliminary numbers. The set-up is with a V-drive, so I don't know if that makes things more difficult. I had my eye on the Yanmar 8LV 370, as I think they are lighter than the current Crusader 454's. If I can get your email and what you need for info, I'll forward you what I have.

Thanks,
Todd
