Great pics of the boat. The engine room and the separate pump room on the 60C always remind me that this thing is really a Naval Destroyer in drag. Fantastic boat, wish I was ready for it, but not yet.
I would be interested in the fuel burn at cruise and at hull speed though.

Looks like a beauty!
Curious why you are selling her, as it looks like you have put alot into the boat and it shows.

Re: 1979 60C Enclosed Bridge
I'm sorry to see your boat listed. I hope another forum member realizes what a great boat this is. I'm biased as I have the same model from 1980. I was told by Steve McPherson that there were only 95 built, mine being hull number 50. With the 12v71ti's at 650hp, 2:1 twin disk trannies, 3" shafts and 32x32 four bladed props, I cruise at 16 knots with full fuel and 1/2 water. I like to cruise a little lighter, so I'm usually at 17 knots at 1950 RPMs with a burn of approximately 60 gph. That's with starboard engine with a little over 3,000 hours and the port engine having a little over 1,500 hours. It's no speed demon by today's standards for sport fishing, however, it makes a great cruiser for someone interested in not just the destination, but how they are going to get there. Not bad for moving 88,000 lbs of boat through the water. That's what the travellift read when hauled in the fall with full fuel. Also, the holding tank is about 185 gallons, so you've got plenty of room for the use of the heads.
Passages,
I would seriously take a look at this boat. One thing to consider, you never have to worry about replacing your flybridge enclosure, so there is a big cost savings in the long run. Also, the engine room is a mechanic's dream. It's very manageable for a couple to operate as the boat is maneuverable to anywhere you want it to go or stay. Wide side decks for a sportfish are a big plus. It does roll a little in a following sea off of the quarter, but it isn't uncomfortable.
If you need any other information on this model, don't hesitate to call.
