My friend is looking at this boat. Not my cup but he likes it. I see red flags all over this thing but he is OK with it. https://www.**************/boats/1993/custom-46-3676863/ So my question is, the listing & issues above aside, anyone have any info on this brand boat ?
Holy moly! Love this boat. What a deal! Told my wife, emailed the broker, and it’s already Sale Pending. Looks like a Technomar and a Profil Hawk Same builder? , I remember these boats selling for $300k (sometimes also previously sunk because of crap metal fittings in the Marine AC discharge lines, so instead of pumping overboard, it filled the boat up) all day long. Look at that lacquered wood. That’s quality. They were a bit wet if you go charging out in any seas more than 2’. They originally had canvas that went from the windshield to the arch, which was very sleek, but hard to see out of. This custom hardtop is very nice. What a deal! Talk about doing the Loop in style! 31 knots for $75k!
That hardtop is an after-thought, but that single addition is enough to resurrect the entire express boat market. A lot of boat for $75K (price dropped $25k Aug 8th)
You will struggle to find any, 'cause the yard was only active up to the late 90s, when they reconverted to maintenance and storage only. I'm Italian and I've been boating around the Med for the last 30+ years, but I can count on one hand the number of Giorgis that I've seen around. And sorry, but I never had an opportunity to go onboard one of them and have a close look in flesh. So, no first hand experience that I can tell you about, but the yard did have a good reputation, for what is worth. Good luck with your search!
That particular boat has been kicking around the Chesapeake since new. it was under a shed at Tollchester marina and sold for 60K 15 years ago there was something weird about it like one ac unit. Hopefully she has gone through 3 refits by now.
Keep the load down on those 425 3208's. The 435's had the cooling and lube systems increased after all the 425 failures.

Thanks for the replies. As stated, not my cup of tea but my friend seems to really like her. No worries on the load issue, my friend likes to cruise around 10 to 12 knots.
