Maybe I can get a couple years out of it while I look for another trailer. My current boat has all new interior and im always cautious of it,,, I don't mind well broke in interior so i'm not stressing over it.

yeah I know how steel trailers last in my parts lol Boat is a 2000, and well used, a couple spots I can do some re-stitching to buy a little time,,, the rear has foam exposed so will have to do something sooner with that one....Dont want anything too fancy that the kids will make a mess of anyways

Would a leak down test let you know the condition of the heads? And I agree about adding closed cooling. The risers and manifolds look almost new. Just witnessed the first start of the year,, after sitting 8 months,,, started quick with no smoke and idled nice with no shakes or noises. So I’m...

Drive was changed out at some point. It has the newer swept back design and clearly in better condition than the transom assembly. Interior has some stitching letting go and is showing its age for sure,,, but with kids I don’t want all new just for them to make a mess of lol. Mostly what...

Ok. I’ll be doing one

Yeah sounds reasonable. A Doral 250 se. Family has grown and need more room

Nice! Did you find your high hours effect your selling price compared to similar boats with lower hours?

I’ll look into that stuff thanks

It’s been fresh water only. But I boat in salt water only. Price is probably 5-10k lower then similar boats with lower hours and mint interior.

Fresh water and open cooling

Good point about key on hours. I can borrow a scan tool to read the computer. He doesn’t mind me doing a compression test as well

I’m considering a boat with roughly 1400 hours. It has been well maintained and runs great. But that seems like a lot. Would a compression check tell you much on the condition of the engine? Owner says it doesn’t burn oil. It’s in a cruiser and wasn’t run hard. Any thoughts or advice?

Interesting. I did buy a kit off ebay, came with everything I needed for $150. It fit perfect and tolerances are tight. I guess time will tell

While I have this apart I was considering adding grease nipples to the upper and lower swivel pin bushings. I'm just curious if anyone else hear has done it and if it has helped. My only concern is blowing out the lower seal from adding too much grease

Also check out that the rear motor mounts in the flywheel housing haven't collapsed. Just had to change mine out to get it aligned properly

My gimbal ring and bell housing is fine. Didn’t have slop in it. Just need a new transom housing,,

I messaged them still waiting for a reply

I noticed on the parts fiche they were different part numbers. Comparing pictures they look identical. If I found one close to me I would take my old one to see if they match. But can only find used ones online and I’m hesitant to drop good money on something I don’t know will work for sure.

Yeah definitely want a fresh water unit. I have a new SS swivel pin kit ready to put it all back together. I found a little information online that said the real late model alpha housing where the same as the bravos. nice clean bravos are hard to find,,,been looking all winter for one

ok thanks
