How do I research a boat?

[slider443]

I am looking to find out all I can about a particular manufacturer and model boat, in particular, Ocean Alexander 48 Classico.

Where can I find information on the hull, production process, materials etc.

Thanks in advance!

Many details will depend on year of manufacture. Besides Google, check the search icon here for threads about them, and check the info on the boat makes page, also here at Trawler Forum.
You may also find an Ocean Alexander owners website.
Internet Archive may also have old makers ad pages.
Beyond that, you will be looking at the makets of the subsystems used in building and repairing the boats, like engines, transmissions, electronics, etc.
Pictures and info can also be gleaned from adverts for the sale of these boats. Boats.com, Yachtworld, Boattrader.com, and others can help you see what is out there, and at what prices.
Good luck with your search.

Good advice.

Also Google such as build quality, problems,

You need to know what year model you're researching. Since production techniques change over time, there may be different production techniques over the history of the Classico model.

Good descriptive advice JohnS. It's an ever-changing package of systems every few years. s someone said recently, it's not assembly line production, there are subtle differences for each boat produced.

Thank you John S (and all). Good advice indeed and greatly appreciated.

See if the company went bankrupt , avoid a boat from that era.

Using the TF Search feature, entering Classico results in 50 threads. Some will be pertinent and some will be useless. Read on.
