Hi everyone. I wanted to follow up to a post from early August about thinking of a 240 or 280. After looking around for over a month, my wife and I have settled on narrowing our scope to 270's. The reason we went 270 was for the room it offers inside and out, with only 1 engine it will (hopefully) cost less $ on maintenance and gas, most 270's have all the goodies that SeaRay has to offer (Vaccuflush, AC and heat, etc).
We have looked at a few 270's but nothing that struck us as being really well maintained and that was in our price range....until we came across a 270 that LOOKS to be very clean. We are going to look at it this weekend and if all goes well, make an offer. I am curious as to what everyone thinks about a 2001 270 with ~410 hours on it. I was originally told that anything over 300 hours is a lot but I feel as though a boat that has been really well taken care of with more hours is better than a boat with lower hours and not well maintained.
This past spring the current owner also replaced: Genuine Mercruiser manifolds, elbows and risers, Complete cylinder heads/valves replacement/refurbishment, Genuine Mercruiser cap, rotor and wires. It is propelled by a Bravo 3 drive with dual counter rotating stainless props. This drive was installed brand new at the end of the 2012 season.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
Thanks again for your help!
