Charlie Smith.....from Smith and Wick in Palm Beach does a great survey. Keppler is a bit over the top, wants to do every 200 rpms for 10...
Which would show you what exactly? The bearings are sealed inside journals and no way to tell the condition of them even if you had the oil pan...
Have the MAN dealer come out and do the engine survey. Nobody is going to let you pull injectors and scope cylinders, that's a HUGE job and the...
Agreed. It's always best to buy the yacht in the best shape to start with. All of the small parts are expensive......and they add up FAST. There...
DON'T, you do not want that stuff circulating through a CAT aftercooler. Doing stuff like this is probably why CAT aftercoolers are failing. Do...
Of the ones that failed on a few of them the maintenance was way overdue. Another one the owner previously like in 3 years earlier ran over a...
The 65' Searay used CATS. The 59' L and smaller all used Brunswick engines. All Meridians used Brunswick engines.

No it doesn't but on their best day they're 18 years and over 3000 hours old......A little PM goes a long way. Everytime they're cleaned they lose...
Given the age (years) of the aftercoolers, they haven't made a 3412 since 2003, just replace the damn things.
I felt differently, to me it felt cramped a bit compared to say a 65' Sunseeker......
I agree they're more maintenance. To Volvo's credit most of these yachts were modern trade in yachts and the service intervals weren't done on...
The strataglass across the rear completely sucks in an express. I had one owner sell a 55' express because of it. When you're running all of...
I wouldn't say no issues. I've run 5 different yachts to the yard in the past 2 years that had to have the IPS drives completely rebuilt, either...
There was a full electric line on their site 2 months ago when I previously looked at it. It's not showing now. I think it was on the side-power...
