The Santego will soon be ours . . .

Saturday should be the day we close on an immaculate 1991, 38' Santego. The surveyor is supposed to be getting back to me Thursday with his verbal report. In about two months we'll hopefully be bringing her the 95 miles downriver (Mississippi) to her new home. We're pumped!

Mike,

Just read your note about getting an immaculate 1991 Carver last year. I'm wondering how you still like it, as I am currently looking at a 1990 Santego myself. Altho, it is only a 27, I think it's plenty of boat for me. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has twin stern drives, not straight inboards. Any input anyone has would be greatly appreaciated

Thanks,

Cari

Congrats on the 91 Santego. I love my 2000. One word of caution. The V-Drives. I have a friend with an '91 who had to replace one drive. The surveyor of my boat suggests that the V-drives are the Achilles heel for the Santego. They get out of alignment and leak.
But every boat has something and knowing what to watch for should help prevent any problems in the future.
