OK, Lets try this again.
First of all I'd like to say Hi and I'm happy to have found these
boards. I've been looking at Boats for about 6 months and have settled on a power cruiser, used to avoid the hicky and beacuse it'll be my first real boat. This boat seems to meet my needs and would love to hear from some experienced people for their comments. 2001 WELLCRAFT MARTINIQUE 2600 Volvo GS 5.7 Volvo Duo Prop W/ UNDER 130 HOURS on boat and less than 40 hours on new engine with warranty till Dec. 06...FRESH WATER ONLY. Has all the goodies included and is a clean boat. Thanks for your coments. |

Eisboch Good point, but...........how can that be a bad thing, especially with the new one having less than 40 hours on it? From what I know about the Wellcraft Martinique's (we looked closely at a 32 footer before we bought our Maxum) they are built like tanks! |

Which is why the 5.7 is a little underpowered for a 2600... but for cruising, & w/ the DuoProp, it will probably be adequate. Rob |

I am just wondering why a 5 year old boat with less than 130 hours on it needed a new engine. Eisboch I understand and you have a good question..................but............. Our old dock neighbor (when we had our 32 footer) had and engine problem on his brand new boat..........the engine was replaced. I am sure he was able to document the problem and the reason why the other engine failed. The bottom line is that he had a newer engine professionally installed. So I ask again..........how can that be a bad thing? |

I am just wondering why a 5 year old boat with less than 130 hours on it needed a new engine. I can think of one reason, based solely on personal experience. Cracked block due to winter freeze. Been there. |

Not to be anal about this, but how did the boat have 130 hours on it if the original engine croaked after 5 hours? Eisboch |
