The model says "bluewater" but I can't find anything about this boat (Like who
makes it) are they still made?

The HIN starts out "BWY" so I thought I'd search for "Blue Water Yachts" - but
these are clearly "not this boat".

A picture of the boat is he

I'm thinking about picking this boat up; but I want to find out more about it
first to see if it's all worthwhile.

Thanks

Nice!

I gave up when bluewaterboats.com wasn't it either.... I think I tried
blue-water.com and blue-weater-boats.com -- Endless possibilities, I guess.

Thanks !

Of course it could be that thay have been in and out of business
several times.

ChrisCraft has been under various owners several times in the last 25
yrs, or so.

one..
and figure out what prop to put on it.


Now that you know who makes it, maybe you could find a phone number and call
them.

As to the outdrive, try here - they list by year. If you look at the
HIN on the boat, the last two digits are the year.

http://www.sterndrive.info/alpha-one...ngs_shims.html

Thanks -- I'd already been there. It seems the higher ratio is for smaller
engines; so that get's down to lower#'s
SEI has 1.47, 1.62, 1.81, 1.94

Based on sterdrive.info -- I'd rule out the upper two as for v6 & 4cyl -- that
least teh lower #'s for others.. 350ci engine -- thoughts on which ratio to get?

Thanks for your help
-j
