I am wondering if that would be a solid bottom with a cored deck. Looking to purchase one. 700 hours with Cat diesels. Any advice?

fairly certain all 400/410 are solid glass bottom, at least the ones from Merritt island. What’s the HIN?

SR customer service can confirm for you as well
 
Any advice...buy it! Great boats...though I'm biased.

Get a good hull survey and a great engine survey....
 
How do you like the Cat motors? Any issues

3 seasons for us and they have about 1000 hours. I did some major maintenance when I took ownership to bring things into spec with the biggest ticket item being new turbos on both sides. Also did all hoses, clamps, coolant, oil and all filters including transmission. Previous owner had the overhead run (valves adjusted and injectors synchronized)

I had props cut so we could easily turn 2850WOT which is extremely important on these engines.

now that they’re baselined and up to spec we absolutely love them and the boat. Docking is like being on a zero turn lawn mower and cruise feels effortless from 1600-2800+. They’re also very efficient for a boat this size and weight
 
Absolutely loving my 3126s, would never go back to gas at this point. Former boating buddy had a 1997 400 with 3116 CATs, I loved that boat.
 
15 years with my 3126's and loving them... You take care of them and they are there for you 110%
 
I love my 400 with 3116's. Make sure to have them surveyed very well by a CAT dealer.
