Considering purchase possibilities of the 370 Sedan Bridge produce 1991 to 1997. Would like one with lower helm which was an option and Cummins Diesels. Can give up the lower helm but need the Cummins Diesels. A few questions come to mind before I travel, sea trial and survey one.
If with lower helm, how is the visibility when running the boat from the lower helm??
Is the boat reasonably stable at anchor? Not rocking around like a Marinette I check out
How is engine accessibility for routine servicing, oil change, filter changes, etc??
Is Generator reasonable accesibiliity for service etc?
I am assuming can run at 20 to 24 knots with the Cummins. Is it a dry boat or does the cockpit area get a lot spray when running at cruise speed?
Dry weight is listed as 14,500 in literature--what would you estimate weight to be loaded to go fishing?
What is bridge clearance?
Any weakness regarding the boat I should check out on survey etc.
Now the deal breaker-Has anyone had one hauled without removing the fly bridge. That is break down the arch and antennas etc. down to the level of the top of the flybridge windshield. What would that height be from the bottom of keel/prop shaft to the top edge of the windshield.
Thanks
One more, notice a couple 1996s without the arch. Were they sold that way or was arch removed?? Thanks again
