I'm considering buying a 1989 Sundancer, with a 4.3 Merc motor. I noticed most of these era boats have the 5.7L Merc. I hoped I could get some advice on whether that boat really needs the 5.7L, or the 4.3L has been just fine for others. I am hoping to get some feedback here before I take a drive to see it on the evening of 8-25-21 (ha ha, yes, that's today).
Also, is anyone aware of common problem areas on these boats? I know the refrigerator doesn't work. Anything common that I can look out for while shopping, or expect to have to fix in the next year or two of ownership? It has a shore power package, a carry-on air conditioner (is it water cooled?), head, alcohol and electric range, trim tabs.
