- Searching for a 2004 - 2006 340 or 360 Sundance w/twin T-496 Magnum MPI, 5.0 KW generator
- Engines
- Oars for now!
Checked out a 2004 320 in salt water - from the survey recently performed (verbal from boat agent)
1. Has two brand new (not rebuild) 383's
2. Generator puts out plenty of power but surges when running. Agent thought it would be the carborator needing replacement.
3. Trim Tabs do not work
4. ALL gauges are intermittently operational - unreliable
5. All interior carpeting need to be trashed and replaced (synthetic flooring)
6. All storage compartments are clean and no sign of water sitting
7. Cosmetically need lots of tender loving care. Nothing damages. Just been sitting without cleaning or owner's attention
8. Asking $99,000 on west coast
So, here's my multipart question - Before I make an educated offer, I'm seeking input from this very experienced and giving crowd of 320 owners:
What is your GUT feeling about what the POSSIBLE costs might be for repairing/replacing per the above list?
As an example: Hard to believe that if all of the gauges are only working intermetently that there isn't a "common" issue/problem available to fix all of them. Bad main ground, loose contacts, etc. Agen't understanding is that these are the original gauges. Maybe even the trim tabs not working could be a part of this/these malfunctions.
