Contacted the seller of the one in Indianapolis. Let's just say it was strange and let it go at that.

Yeah, that's what I use, but I hate the changes they made with it a while back. I just ran a search a few days ago, and that boat above in Indianapolis didn't show up. That appears to be a nice one, but the guy is dreaming at that price. The description tells me he's not exactly familiar with...

Thanks, but I can Google with the best of them (no offense) and have seen what's currently listed. Hoping to find something that hasn't made it to the market yet. Missed a nice one on Craigslist a while back. Definitely not looking for a salty dog or one that has bottom paint.

Thanks! I enjoyed my P22 but am looking for something I can fit with a generator and air for weekend cruising after trailering the boat to different areas. My P32 had factory air, but it was a terrible boat for overnighting, due to the lack of headroom. At 6'1", I'm not all that tall, but I...

I've owned a P22 and a P32, but I've been trying to find a P27 to scratch an itch I haven't had in quite some time. What I would REALLY like to find is one of the later models with yellow accents. Given there probably weren't that many of those made, I could live with another color, but yellow...

Thanks for the input, guys. Seems there was a yellow one in VT, but nobody seems to know any details. As memory serves, the yellow ones were later models, but I could be wrong about that.

Is this boat still available?

Have owned a P22 and a P32 but am in the market for a P27. Would prefer one with yellow accents, but will consider others. Not looking for a project boat. Have cash, will travel.

These came off my 345DB and have been in storage for over 15 years. Sort of forgot I had them. :grin: Shaft size is 1 1/4", and one ear is slightly bent. Just had them refurbed when I hit a log days before I was about to take a long trip. With that, I rush ordered a set of new Nibral's and...

As best I remember, this is a '91 model, so I'm sure it has been repowered. Hopefully I can come up with exact details beforehand, otherwise it's going to be more difficult to plan this trip not knowing ahead of time. Probably not a huge difference in fuel numbers/speed than the 425's. Saw...

I'm getting my information third hand, so there's no telling what's in there. Come to think of it, the Hatt I ran had 3126's... at least that's what I found in some notes. I can't keep my Cat numbers straight other than the 3208's which have been around forever. Could be the guy just dropped...

Oh well, looks like I get to start from scratch in terms of figuring fuel burn on this one. Just got an email informing me the boat has 450HP 3116's which means it was obviously repowered since it's a '91. I ran a 43' Hatt from Sanford, FL to Mobile, AL back in Novemeber with that same power...

Thanks for the input. No doubt I would want to be conservative in terms of cruising RPM, but as best I remember, the 440 will cruise around 18-20 knots at 2,000 with 375's. I used to know a bunch of guys at the Sea Ray office in Knoxville, but not any more. Could be there is still somebody...

I've been contacted to deliver a 440DA with Cats (which I assume to be 375's) and was just wondering if any of you with this power could give me an idea as to your fuel numbers. I've run one of these before, but it's been a long time ago and on the river. This move will be from the Lauderdale...

I knew there were aftermarket kits, but I didn't realize MerCruiser had one let alone them having it on their newer stuff (showing my age huh? :grin:). Of course we both know the trick would be getting to the drain plug to install such a kit on most twins. Sure would make for a big mess the...

I used a genuine MerCruiser hand pump on my 345, but I have a dedicated 12V pump on my Hatteras. Never seemed to be an issue on any other boat I've owned in terms of pumping out through the dipstick and getting all of it, but now you boys have me wondering. You would think MerCruiser would...

Well hello Wayne. Didn't realize your were on here, but I guess I'll stay anyway. :grin:

That's fine, but it would appear your 260 is the only boat with the 7.4. So you show full after adding 7 quarts?

I've asked this question to the factories, both Sea Ray and MerCruiser, and never got a straight answer. Do you folks fill your crankcases based on dipstick readings or the advertised 7 quart capacity in the specs? My 345DB showed full after 5 quarts, and my 41 Hatt with the same power does...

OOPS!!! Sorta forgot about you boys. :grin: Yep, as far as I know, I'm the only Freebird in TN with two Hatts in TN, and I do have a little boater forum at www.forumlychallengedboaters.com Hey, you asked! Nope, I'm not here to spam the place, I'm just a boat junkie who's owned my fair...
