Shower/AC sumps and sink/shower drain hoses and pans can be an odor source... and permeated sanitation hoses. Mold. Gross bilge. Et cetera....
The 480CE was sort of a Diamond-series 450C (6CTA) with added electronic controls of some sort. I thought the lowest/original horsepower for the...
BTW, Ross, that "one owner" part would likely be a plus, in my mind. -Chris
I dunno how to do the computations, but... I'd guess it takes minimal horsepower to get to and maintain 8 kts. Lots more horsepower to get above...
You must be a better shopper than I am... all these boats you're finding that I've not seen in YW or BT. Looks like a nice boat. Is it the max...
If it helps... we've found it's better to find a boat that checks all your "feature" boxes... and worry later about what engines might be in it....
Looks good on paper, nice if it looks the same in real life. Dunno why I can't find a listing on BT or YW. Unless the broker took it down when...
Under your contract, your survey scheduled? Or somebody else's? Guess I'm not finding the listing for this one. I see a '77 on BT with rebuilt...
What's the B330's? Those years, would have been Diamond Series 6CTAs, 450-hp. Yes. You may have to occasionally get up on plane for a few...
G4 LEDs -- sidepin or backpin -- from marinebeam are mostly (all?) 10-30VDC. You can select from among choices how many lumens you mgith want,...

IIRC, some are described by the outside diameter of their threads, not the outside diameter of their caps. For example, a "1½" product (thread...
Put the numbers for your 58 side by side with these. Enough difference to matter much? Then consider that starting over with another new-to-you...
Neutral safety switch? If not that, is there power at the ignition switch? If not that, is there continuity from ignition to starter? And so...
What are symptoms of "would not start"? Crank? No crank? Et cetera... -Chris
Really? I think I've read (here, and elsewhere I think) that Viking support if really good even for their old boats. -Chris
Call Viking? They can probably at least point you to brand/model info. -Chris
Can't speak to those engines, and don't know your budget situation... but if you run a boat like that at "trawler speeds" most of the time, fuel...
Looks like our average diesel cost/gallon was $3.29 at that time. Don't know current prices, but it was approx $6.00/gallon when we filled up...
Not familiar with the boats, but assuming flying bridge? If so, then a question to the group here might be who is familiar with...
