I haven't seen this boat in person yet; it's 7 hours from me. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the drive. Questions for the group.
Mercruiser 350 Mag MPI with Bravo III drive. 520 hours - is that too high? At what point do these engines start to require major repairs/rebuilds? I've only owned a diesel inboard, and my mechanic always complained that I used it too little - not healthy for the engine. (In a sailboat.)
This is a cosmetic issue, but it would bug me if I bought the boat. In the seat that is directly behind the helm seat, the seam is split for several inches around the curve in the seam. Is this easily repairable?
What other problem areas should I watch out for when shopping for a 260 of this era? Thanks in advance!
