I have a few in my area to chose from. The one I am most interested in has the smaller Cummins 6bta motors that produce 370hp vs 400 - 450 hp of the other options. The boats standard motors were gas 400hp. I am defiantly looking for diesel. My concern is that the boat may be under powered with 370 Cummins. Would love to hear from anyone that may have experience with this boat and particularly with the Cummins 6bta 370.

I wanted to make sure this boat isn't underpowered, I'm not looking for a speed boat just want to make sure the boat isn't over proped, causing diesel failure.

it's been a while and I didn't bother posting when my replacement Atwood 20 gallon water heater went bad just outside the 2 yr. warrantee and Atwood basically said "tough" weld it or get another one so I did only not one of theirs and i'm sure they couldn't give a ****.

My dilemma at this point is that nobody seems to know what taxes are applicable to the government on the sale of this boat. It's a "REGISTERED boat", so apparently at some point in the past registered boats were exempt from sales tax.
Nobody seems to know if that exists today or whether BOTH PST (provincial sales tax) or GST (general sales tax) apply or only PST...

It's been a while and things have been going along great but recently the water heater on my now 10yo 453 started leaking and the darned thing is in a small access/attic area in the forward head and a bit of a pain to get to.

So, i bought a new 20 gallon Atwood heater, the exact same model that came with the boat and proceded to remove the old leaky unit.

Getting the thing disconnected wasn't to bad and to be honest re-plumbing it and conecting the power was very simple but...
