ONE, :smt021 don’t beat me up for my question (?)
My main question is simple, are some of the larger 48 foot and above Sea Ray Sedan Bridge models under-powered, diesel that is?
I am guessing from about 1999 models to current. I was talking with my slip neighbor who had just returned from a trip with a friend who has a Sea Ray 5-Sixty hardtop sedan bridge (I am guessing a 02, 03 model; I believe he said, “610 horsepower.” Any way the owner of the 5-Sixty stated the boat needs at least at a minimum a Mann 800 horsepower diesel, and that even the 48 foot models need larger motors, as most are he felt under-powered for their size.
I mentioned to him I had found what appeared or sounded like to be a deal for 1999, 48 Sedan Bridge for $250,000.00, was re-powered in 2001, (I am thinking it was a warranty re-power job) includes a 11 foot Novurania center console dinghy, with Honda motor, TNT lift, Flat panel TV’s, etc. I am fully aware of the requirement for surveys and a factory engine rep check
I am more concerned about whether boats to some degree are under powered or at least with what engine configurations one should look for, as I have no idea what they even come with or which is offered.
48 foot minimum hp
Is/are there any sizes between 48 and 56? Minimum hp
56 foot minimum hp
58 foot minimum hp
Thanks
