    It's actually, "motors turn on fine". The crafty devil is talking about various electric motors on the boat to get around claims of false advertising.

    Thirty years or more ago I would have considered such an undertaking.

    Not sure of the year it was manufactured but it looks like it had twin bunks in the master stateroom
    and that alone puts it in the mid 70's or older.

    Looks like an athwartship queen/double to me. I'm glad that boat isn't closer as it might make me do something stupid... again.

    Well, there ain't no free lunch. It's priced for a reason.

    There was a 55C I looked at briefly when it came on the market in 2012. Starting price was $200K. Ran across it again in 2014 listed at "$50,000 OBO." The 2012 ad stated owned by tug boat company owner and freshly majored 12V71s by in-house mechanic. The 2014 listing stated both motors had 50 hours and would run on a limited basis, but both had cracked rings.

    One would tend to think buying a boat from folks in that business with their own mechanics would be a plus. That's sure what the ad seemed to imply. That was a good lesson I'm glad I didn't have to learn.

    Aren't those 6/92's in the photos?

    Good catch Randy... I believe you're correct. Another thing I noticed after looking at the photos
    again is that the engine air intakes are the later version so it just may not be as old as originally
    thought. Randy, when are flying out to buy it....lol

    Motors turn on fine...doesn't mean that they actually start.

    Buy it knowing that you'll be rebuilding/replacing...always plays on words worry. "Engines are rock solid" equates to "Engines are as useful as anchors."
