Should be similar to the 58 WB. Great design and quality construction.
The OP's boat is a solid bottom, any wet core areas would be from the waterline up. A lot of builders were using balsa back then before foam...
It may not be a problem now, don't wait long to repair. Small wet coring become large large wet coring in time. Saw a 80-ish 48 Viking sf years...
Nice boat. For a cruiser fisherman like me it would be perfect. That third engine is different.
Single handing a 70+ footer can be done but not recommended, much easier and safer to have someone helping. As far as being a owner operator on a...
You probably have debris built up or blocking the units. It is recommended that you circulate the descaler solution from the input side to the...
Good point. We have to use them, we have lot of suspended eelgrass at times that can clog the smaller generator strainers and cause an overheat....
The South Bay and Sen-dure strainers are basically the same type, I never had a problem with those type with jellyfish, only the open thru-hull or...
We kept a boat at Ft. Pierce a couple times. The jelly fish were a pain. The slotted covers do not work for those critters. The best strainers...
Sorry to hear about your overheat. Had 50 Hatt with 3412's, over 5 years we had block heater thermostat failures a couple of times, no damage done...
I was thinking the same as you at one time, great for comfort, not so much for fishing. The ones fishing in the GOM catch their share of fish....
I'm with Dockmaster, hard to get past that the Captain worked for the seller 20 years but no info about drop in claimed speed performance?
Maybe a naval architect can explain that strange occurrence. Did the props start cavitating?
The interior and layout is great! The exterior profile is um....different strokes for different folks.
We tried that, but did not work. It would normally take at least 13 to 14'of water to get on plane, draft was 5'. The boat did not run bow up when...
Just curious, our last boat would cavitate and not get on plane in shallow water. Always felt it was related to the under water exhaust and high...
Never heard any bad comments on the 62. Did the 66 have have under water exhaust?
Which models are you talking about?
We looked at a used 72 Offshore at a flibs awhile back, it was an impressive boat and huge compared to the 62 but would require a full time Capt....
Good choice.
