I am in the process of buying an 01 270. It is having some work done to it prior to our taking ownership of it.We hope to sea trial the boat next week.I have only had an outboard center console before so I am trying to learn as much about cruisers as possible. I have done a lot of reading on this site but I cannot seem to find many 270 specific threads. So, my first couple of questions are:
Is there anything specific to these boats I should be checking before purchase?
What are some good tips as far as operating and maintaining this boat?
Boat stats:
About 300 hours on boat
7.4L Mercruiser Top End rebuilt in 06
Bravo 3
A/C
5KW Kohler Generator
Power steering pump replaced in '11
Fuel lines, pressure regulator and cooler replaced in '10
Exhaust manifolds replaced in '11
Work being done now:
oil cooler - replaced
lower unit- replaced
shift cable assembly and bellows- replaced
raw water pump-replaced
engine-serviced
Bottom paint
Boat was stored on a lift last 7 years at least
I will be slipping it.
Your thoughts, comments, advice, questions and the like are all appreciated.
