" I am looking to purchase a boat with mentioned power. My questions are is there really any way to know how many hours are on these engines? Owner is saying 1200 roughly but gauges say 450?
Is surface pitting and peeling paint a concern with diesels? Engines are not too bad but Trans. are 75% peeling and pitting up. Shafts and stuffing are in perfect condition.
Finally, is there any formula for knowing if a diesel is under powered for a particular boat? Boat is a 31 Gulfstream (any info on boat would also be welcome finding it difficult)displacement of 12000 beam 12. Been told have not seen it yet she will cruise @ 23-24.
Any help is welcome
