I am currently looking at a 1969 44 Triple Cabin and have not found much information in the forum about this boat. I have a few questions:
1. Is there anything in particular to watch out for on this boat? I know it was built during the Rockwell days and have heard that some things may not be quite right.
2. The one I am looking at has all original equipment with 2400 hr 8V71Ns. I have read in this forum that this engine can last a very long time if properly maintained. Are there any owners of 8V71Ns that have accumulated a large number of hours without rebuilds? How many hours?
3. This boat has an original electrical panel that is pretty outdated. Has anyone replaced one like this? Is this a necessary thing to do or just a nice to have?
4. Any opinions about whether this boat is a better alternative to 43DCs from the early 70s? (sea keeping, livability, build quality, etc.)
Thanks in advance for your help with my search.
