Myself and Mr. Clarkson both have mid 80's 55 Convertibles. Not the exact same boat but a lot of similarities. The engines and engine room are the biggest differences.

Keep in mind that there are no dumb questions, but there can be multiple right (and wrong) answers. Just saying.

Okay just a few general ones then. I have an accepted offer on a 1985 52c 2 stateroom model with 8v92's @ 735hp. I have a surveyor scheduled but was curious about a few things.

Under the kitchen floor there is access to a tank, is it the water tank? If so where is the holding/blackwater tank?

Under the stairs there is a series of valves which make it appear there are a left and right water tanks, do they come with 2 or 1?

I've read Pascoe's review, is there any other areas of concern you've run across?

We will troll 90% of the time so I'm i'm wondering what the fuel consumption at 6.5-7.5 knots would be. I am guessing a little better than 1/1.

thanks
