Same thing in my boat with the washer/dryer. I asked the former owner about that, seemed odd because the rest of the appliances are new. Answer was it works well and they still make all the parts for it so why bother. Hard to argue with the logic. The only thing I wish it did differently is it uses a lot of water compared to the newer ones.

The other thing with the older washer dryers is that they will probably substantially outlast the new ones. Appliances are one product category that has really suffered from the cost engineering that has gone on. Our appliance repair person has told us to keep our 15 year old washer and dryer going for as long as possible as that was the "sweet spot" between efficiency and old school durability.

Some of the upgrades inside are nice, like the lights. But that FB set up is weird unlike you enjoy running knees with your friends!
Sitting for 4 years… yikes. Dirty fuel, cruddy tanks, corrosion in the cylinders… stabs will need to be $erviced
The older WD is the least of the concerns.
If you live up north, great layout but awful down here with that little balcony.Last edited by Pascal; 05-23-2022 at 05:29 PM.

Broker finally called back and informed me it is under contract! I'll keep my search unless the contract falls through. Asked broker again about engines or curiosity and he stated that they just needed service. The engines started right up no smoke starboard and little on port.

Never had the opportunity to see it.
