ALNAV, RBB, thank you both for responding. Seems enough ventilation can be had in the salon (nice), and I’ll be doing coastal cruising in S. California so planning on diesels. Now I just need to find a well cared for boat within reasonable distance. Not that easy apparently.

Thanks RBB, does that mean that cooking and engine odors linger in the salon without having any way to escape? Or is is not really a problem?

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a diesel 390/40MY. Any leads other than what can be found on YachtWorld will be much appreciated. I’m in S. California. Does the model have opening windows in the salon for cross ventilation? Thank you.

Oh yes, sorry folks, my mistake. Not a SR so the wrong site. My apologies.

This item was posted on the wrong site. Sorry for that.

What is the norm to tip the guy that pumps gas in your boat? Is it based on the bill or just how helpful he is? Thanks.

I’m in Los Angeles boating out of Marina Del Rey.

Thanks for posting the parts list invoice. That could come in very handy. 30 hours labor for one, wow. Yes $30K allowance off the purchase price makes sense for changing heads on both engines. I was right behind a 390 MY out on the ocean today in 4’ seas and it seemed to do quite good. Much...

Your suggestion to order directly from Cummins is well taken for both the heads and other parts. Thanks for following up.

Thanks for the info on the part number. Tony over at SeaBoard lists the new cylinder head as part 3931925. I believe both refer to the new/latest version of the cylinder heads. I’m still searching for my boat and will make sure the engine gets a good looking over. Also heard to prop it as per...

I’m looking for opinions on how the 390/40MY handles in the ocean? I’ll be boating in the Southern California part of the Pacific. Thank you.

I did see them but I’m in California, so a little worried about transporting them out here. I know the top has to come off and possibly other stuff for road transport. Other option is by boat to Mexico and then drive it by water the rest of the way to LA. Not many of them on the west coast...

Al, thank you for your detailed reply. Much appreciated and will take into consideration. My preference would be a 07/08 40 MY (QSB, 2 single seats and a sofa).

Thanks Al. Do you have an opinion on pros and cons on the 480CE (I know the valve issue) vs the QSB engines.
