So I'm new to the group... I love my 290 Amberjack but its time to move up because the Admiral wants more space and I want Diesels! Hopefully I can get some advice here. I'm a hobbyist mechanic, but my expertise ends past the dipstick and the wiring harness. We are looking at a 390DA with 700h QSB 380's and in one of the pictures the stbd turbo looks like it has gotten hot enough to fry all the paint, the port motor does not have the same look. My questions- is it normal? what could have done that if not? is it a walk away issue? I really appreciate anyone's advice. Obviously I'll get a complete motor survey before buying but I'm looking for a bit of insight before spending that $
