nice model though, anyway. Matt you better have deep pockets to keep that boat running. 41 foot boat with 2 454 chevy big block engines at 350HP people go nuts when i tell them that, and when i tell them it has a 375 gallon fuel tank they just drop dead. so have fun...

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #511 on:** December 15, 2009, 00:26:42 »

As I say if you can afford the boat you can afford to fuel it

Minime · « **Reply #512 on:** December 15, 2009, 00:30:27 »

I think it was another boat which has the two 254 chevy big blocks, one that's now sold if I remember correctly.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #513 on:** December 15, 2009, 00:38:36 »

Our speedboat had the two 454 Chevy Big Blocks 454HP each

The 41 Footer (Mainship) has two 454 Crusader 350HP 7.4L V8 Gas (Petrol for you Europeans) and the 375 Gal tank

Minime · « **Reply #514 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:05:06 »

you people have weird engines, over here there are no V engines in the boats mostly normal volvos, straight 6 I think.
I've seen the model volvo penta d6 in many boats here, never any V engines.

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #515 on:** December 15, 2009, 01:58:36 »

You guys are the weird ones

might not be true in your case as you bought the boat 20 years old at no where near new retail value

Capt. Matt · « **Reply #517 on:** December 15, 2009, 03:29:23 »

well...The boat on ebay is about 87 Grand everywhere so

My dad has a boat down in Dover (we live up North now, in Lincolnshire) called the Sulac. It's a 30ft Moody Yacht (now outdated by a 31ft version) made in the 70s in Gosport/Plymouth (locations of parts, I've forgotten where she was actually finished, one of those two places). He bought her for the lovely, good value sum of about Â£3000, and she was well worth it! About 8kn (MAX!). 25hp BETA Marine inboard engine put in a few years ago. Beautiful hull (concrete I think). Two sails. Sleeps 2/3. Gas, cooking, water, toilet..... Usual. She sounds like a Transit van sort of.... LOVE HER! Of course, I'm at the helm most of the time, while Skipper's up for'd doing sommats with Number 1 (who is usually his good friend Ian Keyser from Whitfield if it's not just the two of us).
Picture of what she looks like: (VAGUELY, this is NOT my dad's boat, it's not even a Moody but she looks similar)

She looks very much like our old boat!

Sabb as well!! We had a Sabb 2.2, would go forever!

What type of boat is she? She wouldn't happen to be a Colvic by any chance?

Or is she a home build entirely?

Jack.
