Here's one for ya, let me guess, Detroit's?
I don’t have a problem with Detroit’s, actual I prefer them in some instances.
But many of these have been neglected. Big time engine work ahead.
Exactly, the owners that did want to maintain them properly, usually couldn't find qualified people to do so.
As a 500DA owner with 8V92 Detroits, I guess I should chime in. We have had our boat about 15 years. Our boat has the standard engines, not the DDECs which were a problem engine, they used computers to make more HP and the motors could not take it, hence the bad rap. We have approx 2500 hours on our engines, with pretty much normal maintenance, we experience very few issues. My only issue with the boat is too much canvas. The boat has a huge master bed and a good size shower. I am 6'2" and around 220 lbs and can get around in the engine room. With the 8/92s it jumps on plane and will maintain plane as slow as 15 mph, cruise speed is low to mid 20s and burning around 28 gph combined.
Where are you in NC. We are close to Wilmington.Im a little late finding this post. But i know of at least one 500da that is no longer on the market. We closed the deal on ours the end of July. 6V92's. We have been busy getting her moved to the coast and going thru all the systems in preparation for the up coming cruising season. Absolutly love this boat. So far no major problems. Mostly just some minor items needing attention due to lack of use of the boat. And upgrading a few items. Overall the boat is in great condition.
