Reassembly to start this week, followed by swapping the head on the other side
how much is this costing you all in? Did they leave everything in tact and working through the single engine hatch ?

All, please tell me if I'm out of my mind.
I'm planning my first boat purchase. I have a family with 2 kids, so we have been looking for a boat where we can all get out, bring friends for a weekend, but at the same time, we love to fish.
So our two main uses would be staying over couple of days on the boat and fishing / trolling or bottom fishing on it.
I've started looking at 320, then 340 / 8.1s and now I've made an offer on a 2005 390 w qsb 380 diesels with about 600 hours. The boat looks amazing, and a good size for us to be comfortable.
Here are my questions to the owners.
1. is 130 a good price for such a boat ?
2. Would I be able to troll salmon on it ? Ive heard diesel engines idle at the high speed. Any idea how fast the boat will move ?
3. Does the smell of a diesel bother anyone when you are moving slow on this boat?
Thank you so much for your answers and guidance.
That's correct, it's 390 sundancer with 380s. I just found more details on the boat. It has been on sale for the past 8 months at 145K. Apparently cummins surveyor who had looked at the boat said that no maintenance had been done for the past 6 years and aftercoolers need to be changed. What do you guys say? I've looked at the cores, they are about 3k each to replace, but my concern is that they are compromised and seawater has entered the engine.
What am I getting myself into? Should I cancel the deal ?

That’s great the insurance is paying up.Slowly getting it done. Un did the mounts and jacked the left side, just enough room to drop the pan, un do the rods and push them up and out and enough headroom to remove the liners.
My marina has prohibited slip owners from accessing their boats, but paid employees are ok.

What does something like that mechanical breakdown insurance cost?My policy specifically states unplanned mechanical failures paid 100% until the boat is 10 years old, after that depreciation is applied. In my case, the engine was 14 years old at the time of the incident, the cost of the parts was depreciated 10%, no depreciation on labor, and then my deductible was applied. Most of the cheaper policies do not have this coverage, but in my opinion you get what you pay for.
Roger, I had to laugh at the Irony of the new name on the 390 since I work for a "Scale" company!That’s great the insurance is paying up.
I didn’t realize they would do that.
