Mr McGuire: I own a similarly configured boat and for a California boat the price is unbelievable. That would be my concern. I would research the history to see if it is originally a Florida boat. There are others on the board that can weigh in on the risk of the CAT 3196 risers when the boat is in salt water. I have had no problems and the engines are head and shoulders above the Detroit diesels, and in my opinion, the Cummins (speed and torque). Others will surely weigh in.
It is a BIG boat but the best handling vessel I have ever owned.
