As most can tell from my past posts, we are looking at moving up from our 1988 270 Sundancer to a 340 Sundancer, probably around a 1985/86. I have a couple of questions as I compare various ones available..........
1. I know the answer can very to this one like the temp. but... For a 1985/1986 340, what would you consider to be excesive hours, over 500, 800, 1100?
2. If you were to go towards the higher end, what would you look for as signs that the engines are getting tired?
3. With twin 454's at 340-350hp each, what is your feeling of a closed cooling system verses an open/draw cooling system?
4. What is meant by a "Imroned hull"?
5. In regards to reputation/serviceability/repair cost/sturdiness, ect... what is your feeling of Crusader vs. Mercruiser engines, with V-drives?
I know someone will post about getting a survey being a must and it is and will be.
Thanks.
