Best for

  • Inland and coastal cruising
  • Buyers prioritizing space and value
  • Owners comfortable maintaining older production systems

Trade-offs

  • Operating cost reflects twin-engine planing performance
  • Model-year changes can materially alter layout and systems
  • Older examples require close survey attention to structure, tanks, wiring and machinery

Known concerns

  • No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.

Inspection focus

  • Verify moisture around deck hardware, windows, hatches and rail bases
  • Inspect flybridge, arch, windshield and upper-deck penetrations for water intrusion and structural movement
  • Inspect fuel, water and waste tanks plus hoses and fittings
  • Inspect engines, transmissions or sterndrives, exhaust and cooling systems
  • Review AC/DC wiring, shore-power equipment and documented electrical modifications
  • Confirm steering, trim-tab and generator operation where fitted
