    Not to make excuses for anybody here, or apologize for their manners, but some of these so-called Senior contributors can or may be a bit rough around the edges now and then, probably more impatient than rude, although your comments are more than reasonable.

    In general this forum is a great site to learn stuff: I came onboard with silly questions 20 years ago and have learned a lot since then, to the point of buying at least one model boat suggested right here, and loving it.

    Believe me, you just hit a spot at a wrong time, the vibe here is usually very friendly and cordial, from the top down and those who have tried to bully or be bad are shown the door with no mercy, we have a fairly robust Do Not Fly List here.:cool:

    Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride, we are pretty friendly here.

    Little late responding here, but awesome to hear, Norseman! Appreciate the intel! And thanks for taking the time to post this; I had already written off the site, and just saw a missed notification in EMail...

    Stick around for a bit. This forum is a really good source of info. I used to own a 89 31 Tiara. Loved that boat. My generator was located where the 33s is. Other than the access issue my hatch tended to leak which worked over my genny. I had 454 gas engines in mine and had them rebuilt and the outfit would remove the tilt up seats and they could quickly remove the entire engine if things get that bad. I had a vacuflush head on that boat and the access to the vacuum tank was doable but tough. So overall systems access is not that great but doable. To me most any boat that is 33 feet or so long is not going to have great systems access. I would get a surveyor to sound the hull sides to check for a wet core. I believe the bottom is solid.
