Hello to everyone:
Read this thread from the start, interesting data.
Am familiar what to look for during a boat purchase.
Going to look at some 48DA's. Are there any items/areas pertaining to
the 48DA I should pay additional attention?
Also wondering if anyone would have a 48DA standard/option list in pdf form.
Thanks in advance
Main issues I came across with these boats when looking were:
Deferred maintenance of cooling system on the motors;
Lack of annual oil changes on the transmissions;
Leaking windscreens as evidenced by puddle of water on the dash at the corners of the screen;
Leaking rudder shaft seals;
Bilge paint starting to flake off in parts;
Timber verneer delamination and splitting issues on the cabinetry;
Milky veneer cabinetry.
Also check:
Play in the rudder support brackets;
Loose/leaking large triple cabin windows.
I may have an options list but would need to check.
