So apparently I have one of the few 410ac without the bunk bed in the forward cabin. I would like to have my carpenter build this for me but want it to look like the original. Does anyone have any good photos of the forward cabin where the bed meets the hull and aft bulkhead? Any help would...
I agree I would look more towards 40 amp for 3 banks as 40 amps is total output. Also keep in mind a power supply and battery charger are slightly different. I have the same battery charger on my old 34 sea ray and 41 sea ray. When i added a second charger for additional batteries I noticed...
Beautiful boat! Hope you get her one day soon. Price isn't too bad. Just out of reach for me though. I hate having a loan on my boat so I can't dream more than I have. Lol. But if I won the lottery that would solve my problem. I think I would have to buy my marina though cause I need the...
While I meant no offense at you or anyone else who owns a 3208 cat it isn't an engine I would ever consider. I've been around boats all my life and manage a marina so I see lots of engine problems. Cat's in general don't seem to be as reliable as some other brands and the 3208 seemed the most...
I have thought about that. I don't look at my boat as an investment. I take to heart the meaning of boat, Break Out An Other Thousand. Lol. I have considered a newer boat but don't like the layouts. Since we are live aboards we take the layout and interior comforts very seriously. The 420ac...
My 34 sedan bridge did hit 30 knots with the stock 340 mercruisers. I went with 420 to 450 hp rebuilds but the boat was damaged by the marina and hasn't seen the water since. My prop/speed calculator says it should do 38knots at 5500 rpm. (Yes the 454 have the better rods to spin at 5500).
My shafts are 1 3/4 and I'm spinning 24 inch 3 blade wheels. I understand the difference between torque and HP. It was described this way a log time ago to me, torque gets you up to speed HP keeps you there. As for diesels I would not consider 3208 cats as they were dogs! I had 2 friends with...
I purchased a used 410AC a few years ago. i moved up from a 34 foot fly-bridge model. I had repowered my old Sea Ray with modified 454 pushing around 420 to 440 HP each. The boat did 36 to 38 knots at 5500rpm. 1.5-1 reduction (i think). So i want to Put something like that or more in my new...
