Does anyone know what the value should be on a 2004. Has two 440hp Yanmars with Hamilton jet drives, nice woodwork, a bunch of nav, bow thruster, 2000 hours on the Yanmars, 300 on the Gen. This would be for a one person operation most of the time. FL Intercoastal, rivers, maybe Atlantic close to shore. I don't have any idea how seaworthy these are. They are very light at under 18,000 pounds and 2' draft. Would you be comfortable staying a week or month on board just traveling around? Thanks a bunch!
I assume your looking at the one in Savannah. I would consider it a long weekender at best for a couple at max. That engine box / deck turns me off quickly. You spent any time operating a jet boat? Whole different world. They drive me crazy but I just delivered a few jet boats far apart in time. Like a DC-3, you have to keep the gas on, even when docking to keep control. I would prefer a Packet Express 36 (Island Packet power boat) over this. More single level room.
Yeah, that's the one. Never operated a jet boat. Thanks for the reply. That engine area takes up a lot of space---but they do call it a daytripper. LOL at the DC3. That was the taildragger wasn't it?
Douglas Cargo-3 Still to this day, one of the most remarkable, one-airship-does-it all. IMO; It will out live more than 3 generations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_DC-3 You still had to fly/power it down the taxi ways like a jet boat.
