Hi there all,
You folks are the experts so I'd like to see if you have any advice, input, criticism? This is our first large boat. My wife and I are looking at a mainship 34 that has been repowered about 5 years ago with a then new mpi captains choice crusader 8.1. It was out of the crate brand new then. The fuel numbers he gave me were pretty good. Thoughts on this motor? I know they typically came with the ole Perkins 160 or 200's.
The boat itself is supposed to be in good shape. He told me there is one spot on the cockpit the has a soft spot on the deck, about 1'x1.5'. No blisters on hull. Flybridge is supposed to be solid.
I know these boats had pretty strong following and still do. Are there many of you that have redone the interior of these boats? If so do you all have any pictures you'd like to share.
I have not seen the boat yet, just want to get some preliminary thoughts... Thank you all in advance!
