Pulled the trigger on a new (used) boat on Friday. 2000 Sea Ray 410 Express Cruiser. Length: 45'-6" Beam: 13'-10" Weight: 21,000 lbs Twin Mercruiser 454 Mag MPI Horizon motors, 380 HP each Comes with it's own tow behind gas pump ? Have to get through a sea trial and complete survey. If all goes well, she'll be buffed and bottom painted and back in the water by the second week in May. Needs new canvas and a a couple of cushions that need some attention. Other than that she is in great shape for a 23 year old boat. Need to come up with a name for it. Any suggestions? If anyone is interested in a 2012 Larson Cabrio 857 we should have one for sale soon! ??3 points

The Davy Jones. A little embarrassed to say I thought that said ‘strippers’. And I was like ‘huh’? Hunting for strippers? That’s what I get for trying to read on an iPhone without glasses. Although, ‘Strippers On A Boat’ might make for a good movie. Think they could get Sam Jackson again?2 points

Well we had the on shore and on water survey and sea trial over the weekend. A few things were found, some somewhat significant, some minor. The things we found of concern; 1). Starboard engine is leaking water on both exhaust manifolds where the spacer to the riser meets. Could just need a gasket, but who knows. With water leaking out, it's likely leaking into the engine. Customer will have to fix this (whether its as simple as gaskets or entire engine) before I would accept the deal. 2). The starboard deck hatch on top of the front has some moisture and delamination in the fiberglass. Has to be fixed on the sellers dime. 3). The port propeller has a couple of nice dings in it. Its causing a slight vibration underway, but a prop recondition will take care of that. 4). The generator is in need of a capacitor as it's not putting out enough voltage. That will be fixed this week by the seller. The surveyor was really impressed with the condition of this boat. Other than the delamination near the one hatch on the deck, he said this thing is a tank and in amazing shape for 23 years old. So we will see how the seller responds to the starboard engine issues and the hatch delamination. He either fixes them or we walk away from it. https://rumble.com/v2iqft4-2000-sea-ray-410-express-cruiser-dropping-in-for-sea-trial.html2 points

Remember being totally engrossed & vibing the first time hearing his performance of Poinciana. Was a fan since. Thanks for your music, Mr. Jamal. He passed today at 92, & is surely brightening the other side with his virtuosity.1 point

OK but with all petrol engines and diesels (when able) on boats (or anything else) if it has been standing for a long time it is prudent to spin the engines over with plugs out or cocks open (diesel). Then if you see any water coming out you know you have problems, if you don't you may have bigger problems, holed pistons one of them). I would take out plugs, examine with borescope, if ok turn over, put plugs back or close cocks then start, expect white smoke at first as moisture will be there. However if engines warmed up and white smoke still there further investigation is required. I have seen many owners leave their boats for over 6 months, rock up, start the engines then examine their bank accounts to cover the result of not doing 30 minutes work.1 point

Oh they get it wrong believe me. Which is why there are tax attorneys that know how to play the game and get the irs to cave. Without admitting being wrong of course. Perhaps that’s the bigger joke. ?1 point

The surveyor does a resonance sound test on the entire hull, top to bottom. He also puts a moisture meter all over the hull to check for moisture in the core of the hull. Leakage around hatches is very common. They repair it by pulling the hatch out, drilling holes in the affected areas. They use heaters to dry out the fibreglass and inject resin into the core where the delamination has occurred. Once that is set and solid (and it is much stronger than the original wood core) they seal it all up, reset the hatch and call it a day. It will last the lifetime of the boat. The engines are 7.4L 454 cubic inch V-8 gasoline engines. Hence there are two exhaust manifolds per engine (one on each side). The surveyor uses a thermal imaging camera on the engine, manifolds, heat exchangers to ensure that things are properly cooling and there are no signs of cracks. The water leaks were found during a visual inspection. They connect OBD diags to the engines and check compression. Other than that no surveyor will go much further than that other than to take oil samples from the engines, transmissions and the generator. They will be sent out to labs for analysis to see what contaminants are in the oil (i.e. coolant, water, particulate, etc). These engines are direct drive shaft engines as opposed to V-drives, Z-drives or stern drives. None of this scares me. It's all fixable. Just not on my dime.1 point
