Hy all
I'm new to the forum, and pretty much new to boats.
I have a chance to get a 77 Arabian which looks pretty good from the pics I've seen but I'd like a few opinions first.
From what I've seen in the pics the boat has a dial that marks the hours of usage.
This specific boat has 26 hours marked on it. How's that even possible? I have the feeling that someone has fiddled with it and possibly turned it down. Either that or the boat has not been driven at all.
Also they guy says the engine is a Mercruiser but he listed it for 170 HP and says the engine is a 4 cylinder one. I couldn't find on the internet any specs on the engine that's supposed to be oem on this particular model so I'm asking maybe someone knows what king of engine should this model have.
Also, does this engine have particular issues and failures I should be aware of? What's the fuel consumption for cruising and skiing on a lake?
The guy is asking 4000 euros for the boat and trailer.
Here is the link with the boat ad:
