Hello everyone; yes I'm another newbie, although, I've read many of your posts over the years, when I was shopping for my current love, a 1981 34', down galley, single screw.
So, I'll now get right to the point.
I would love hear from any of you regarding the idea to replace my Cat 3208NA with a Cat 3208TA 375HP. I have the opportunity to purchase a 1992 with ridiculously low hours (100), as it's been stored on it's boat in dry dock since the late 90's. Obviously, my biggest concern is whether that is too much horse power for the prop shaft, strut, bearings, etc.? Let me also say, that as far as I know my boat was built with exactly half the drive train as one with a Cat 3208NA twin set-up.
Any insight you all may have will be much appreciated.
Thank you all in advance!
