I urge you to get a survey. I did and knew exactly what I was getting into.
I used to own a 24ft, Sea Ray 454 single gas engine. WAY too expensive. I do not know what the fuel capacity is on the boat you are looking at but hope it would be quite large. You will need it to get to the Bahamas. My current boat just got back from the Bahamas and I averaged 3 miles per gallon. (diesel) I personally would never own a gas engine again.
I wish you well on your search.
Thanks Donna. I would a absolutely love diesel but they are hard to find in this size. That and our plan is to eventually bring it back to our lake, which doesn't have diesel on it.
Even if this thing gets 1 mpg, going to the Bahamas is about 50 miles, which means I'm going to burn 50 gallons. I'm sure a boat this size with twin 454's will have at least that.
We are getting a survey. Our offer will be contingient on the survey.
