    A little vague, but they can be a good buy. Some had some vibrations issues I believe, but overall good boats, usually with C32 Cat power.

    I would much prefer C32s over MTUs

    I had C32's and they were overall good engines. Did have to replace aftercoolers often. I have MTU's now, first time, 12v2000 1945hp. I did work to get them under warranties, and would not own them out of warranty. Have had issues.

    The newer BD's are fiberglass, not the wood hulls of old. So, they don't ride as well, and are pigs on fuel. But they have good accomodations, and fish pretty well.

    The Buddy Davis' also crack the rear bulkhead in the engine room usually on the starboard side.
