The obvious question ... What make boat is it?

Heh, it's a "Cruisers 3650".

My only comments would be that personally, I'd much rather see a pair of
diesels in a boat that size rather than the gas engines, even with the very
low hours. I assume they are replacements, otherwise the boat must have
never moved.

I don't care for aft cabin type boats of this type, although others
obviously do. I've never owned one, but it would seem that the raised
cockpit could be somewhat uncomfortable in beam seas for some.

Otherwise, Cruisers, Inc. are popular boats and seem to have a decent
reputation.

Thank you for your comments. The interior space is what I like, the distance
from the aft deck to the water is a negative as we also like to fish. I
noticed a comparable Sea Ray, (design, year and length) is going for quite a
bit more than the Cruiser. I know initial investment is higher too.

Thanks again.

Gas powered boats of that size will be less expensive than a diesel equipped
boat. If the engines are new, as I suspect, it could be a good value unless
you intend to do some long range cruising.

The aft cabin design certainly adds a lot of interior space.

The first *larger* boat I wanted to buy was a Cruisers Inc., but it was sold
by the time I decided to make an offer.

In the event that you are new to boat purchases, don't ignore the
importance of getting a good survey. Also, all marine surveyors are not the
same in terms of their detail of inspection. My advise would be to find the
toughest, most unliked by dealers sob that you can find. It's worth it.

==================================

If you like that type of boat you might also take a look at the
Mainship 37 motoryacht.

A neighbor of mine has one and it's not a bad boat for its intended
purpose. All boats of this type tend to be a bit top heavy and will
roll in a cross sea. Fuel burn on my neighbors boat is about 2
gallons per mile at 17 knots, 1 gpm at 8 knots, typical for twin 454s.
