Asfar as a 380DA with Cat Diesels is concerned.........buy the boat! They are great boats, quick, handle well and easy to maintain.........did I say "buy the boat". Get it under contract as soon as you can because they don't stay on the market long.

I'd like to have had diesels too but way off the price point for me, soooo I'm happy with the 8.1's as I've had plenty of experience with running one HARD in my 27 Fountain, an exceptional motor but it likes fuel, but as far as I can see diesel is ALWAYS more $$ for a gallon of fuel so it's all good. Love my 6.6 Duramax in my 2500 4x4Of course don't buy the boat just because it has diesels. Buy the boat if it surveys well and is a good value. A wet 380 torn up on the inside, not well maintained...but with diesels...would clearly be a questionable purchase.
OP, regardless of how rare or well optioned a boat is I think everyone on CSR would tell you that a solid survey (and diesel inspection) is priority # 1 when buying a boat. Don't get too terribly intoxicated by the appeal of this particular boat/configuration. It's got to be the right boat...
