One week away from finalizing purchase or walkaway.

Thanks...Good advice.I appreciate it.

Good Morning all...One thing that I didn't mention in my original post is that the boat has been sitting on the hard for two and a half years untouched.In my experience with airplanes and boats low or no operation is the bad news.I hear that 671's can sit for years and start right up and run but...

Hi..The 48 is a 1982 and the engines are ,671n models with 301 HP..I don't have the paperwork history yet for the detail on the rebuild.

This direction is making more sense right now.

See my reply to ghost below and thankyou for your input today.You are a very responsive group.

Well....Since it is closing in on cocktail hour here in Port Salerno I think that I might get ready to pour one and mull over all of this information that I have learned today...Since one of the 671n's has 450 hours since rebuild and the other one 54 hours I think that I might back up my thought...

Ouch!

By a yard I'm sure.

Thanks...Good information.All of it and it does have me thinking.I expected that I wasn't looking at a simple task ( $$$) but you mentioned lots of things that I didn't even think of. The salon is going to be done over and I knew the windows have to come out..By the way all of the windows and...

Great,!..Thankyou so much.I'm really looking forward to this project and appreciate all of the comments and advice on my first day on the forum.I wish that I could carve out time to come to the rendezvous at Roche in June to see all the Tollys, meet the people et, and get ideas.I will try to...

Thanks very much..Good insights on potential issues that I was not aware of.No experience with old diesels, just MAN's, Cummins QSM 11's and Volvo D12's on my last three boats.I'm in a new world here so I really appreciate all the advice I'm getting on the forum.

Thanks for the tip on soft cores above the sliders.I think that Bounty in Anacortes makes replacement doors and windows but knowing that there may be an issue to fix is very helpful. Probably would not use higher speeds that much except running from the storms in the Bahamas ( which I have had...

Thankyou.I'm planning to insulate with Soundown and various other products but would like to lessen the noise for other boaters and get rid of the oil leaking.Thanks for responding.

Thanks for your response.300 Jo on the 671n's...Low hours on rebuilds but looking for quiet.If someone has any ideas about how to quiet them down ( insulation of course) I would love to hear.Like to cruise at 15 to 17kts.

Thanks...I hear you on value added issue.I know that engine noise will bother my wife a bunch and the seemingly sweating of oil through the pores of the 671's would annoy me but I appreciate your input.Thanks

As part of a restoration project I am considering a swap from Detroit 671n engines to something cleaner and quieter.The Cummins 5.9 series seems to be what most people suggest on misc sites and also Yanmars as an alternative. Cummins has what seems to be a good choice with remanufactured...
