What a gorgeous looking boat....kind of sounds like it's saying "take me home" in the pictures. I hope
it looks as good up close and personal. With all that being said, due to the engine issues I think that it
is well overpriced and you are being benevolent with only $45K reduction. A boat of that age probably
has other issues such as electrical, plumbing, generator, air cond and so on......but it sure is pretty.

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
Generator replaced in 2013 and only has 20 hours. She must sit at the dock a lot. AC's have been upgraded, so I would guess everything else is in good shape.
I'm surprised those engines are that tired with no more hours than that. She looks like a very well maintained boat with some nice upgrades.Randy Register - Kingston, TN

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
I think she is overpriced and if they won't deal, wait it out. That's why you got an engine survey, to find out what was going on with them. Notwithstanding how much I like Cummins diesels, for which I have great esteem, I think overhauling the present engines makes a lot more sense financially. Probably half the cost.

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
$70k for rebuilding 2 12v71n engines is realistic. Add transmissions and you may hit $100k by the time it's all done right.
Then you still have old Detroit's. If there's a need to do both engines you may find the repower works out better financially on resale.Scott

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
@ 2900 hours those engines just need some good hard runs to get things back seated and cranking again. I'd pull the Air box covers check for stuck rings and throw in a set of new injectors and run them. It's the worst coast so I guess money has no value there but on the east coast it be well under 100k my neighbors had a 58 tc they bought new and sold for $36k a couple years ago boat was mint. The 58tc while a beautiful design has always been a black sheep of the Hatt clan. To me functionality the old double cap in design feels like your going down into a cave entering the living area. The on deck areas and bridge are small and if your entertaining fill up quickly. And then there's the decent to the swim platform kinda feels like your on the Hillary step looking down.

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
It has almost 4000 hours on the engines. The oil samples looked normal for the gears.

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
4000 hours is not much for them if cared for.
I've seen 12k plus on some still running.
What exactly is wrong with them?Scott

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
2 bad injectors, blower seals leaking, raw water pumps leaking, 1 engine circulating pump leaking, rings are shot, hoses are tired, might need some exhaust work either hose leaking water or manifold, with a side of dirty racors ⚓️

Re: 58 Tri-cabin information
Rings shot just doesn't add up.
Mr. Smith. What say you on worn rings with only 4k hours?Scott
