I’ll chime in. We bought our ‘97 400 with CAT 3116s a few years ago. As with any boat of this age, we had to put some dollars into deferred maintenance items and cosmetic updates. But overall, it’s been a GREAT boat for Lake Erie. The caveat I’ll throw out is this; don’t expect to find easy dockage on any of the islands in a boat over 40’. We had to circle around the marina for an hour only to return home on numerous occasions this summer. From June-Aug, you’ll NEED reservations a few days in advance at just about every marina (all of PIB, Dockside at Kelleys, and MBI State Park). We actually didn’t use the boat much this summer because we never made reservations (hard to plan much in advance with a 6mo old) and every time we tried to be spontaneous we got turned away.
