Not wanting to change the topic here, but how are these A/C units powered?

110V AC. Example: The 43' Beneteau we rented in Tortolla (not Tortuga), BVI, had A/C but no genny. The first night in port was at the dock with A/C. The standard cruise around the islands included 1 or 2 stops at docks where you could hook up the AC to use the A/C for a nice, dress-up style evening. The rest of the week was more like camping out.

The harbours tend to be on the leeward side of the islands. Up close, the air is stagnant and the bugs are thick - such as at the dock. When out cruising, the overnight destinations were also on the leeward sides, but of much smaller islands with a stiff breeze to keep the air comfortable and the bugs away.

The early risers always get to the next moorings and choose the ones furthest out to minimize bugs and maximize breeze.

In my opinion the minimum bid seems a bit high to me? the listing also states it does not have a generator, even if it had a generator. I would probably only offer $130K and need a survey. if they would not respond to this I would let them know I might be persuaded to go to $140K depending on the survey results. :huh:

Note: The engine picture is upside down

Just my .02 cents, but since the new buzz word is "Change," I have a new slogan, with '"Change" for change!' :huh::smt043

You may not need or want a generator, but for me on a boat this size I want a gen set

General question here, with no generator does that also mean no air conditioning

Good luck which ever way you go. :thumbsup:

I'm going to try to look at it on Saturday.

I never dreamed that a 340 or above wouldn't have a genny - especially in the south.

Similar experience for us in Tortolla, BVI when we rented 2 cats. The AC did not work in either and the nights, though hot, were bearable.

So I'm going to see this boat tomorrow (the 390 Dancer) -Sure enough, it was listed by MM at $279,000 (right at NADA retail), the owner had turned down a $235,000 offer (what he owed), and now its listed on yachtauctions.com for $182,000. Got a call today from the broker - SOLD for $165,000 - coming over to my lake (Allatoona in NW Atlanta). So I guess I'll see it here someday...now I've got to give a hard look at an offer for the 420 Dancer on the same site here in Atlanta that's listed for $204,000.

Boy - do I ever have a case of "3" itis" or what - where's a 340 with a deal like this when I need it!!

WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 420 for 204,000? EDIT - Gas engines in a 420.

The 340's on there look like crap (2005 models). Somebody's going to love my boat some day (other than me right now).

What do you think about a 2005 340 for $140? 150 freshwater hours...looks pretty good - we're going to look again tomorrow.

The 420 is too big for Lake Allatoona...
