Used T-Tops???

[twofinbluna]

Welcome to this great web site. Congrats on your new purchase.

Please tell us about your recent purchase. Also, please let us know where you live. The more information that you provide should enable us to give you the proper feedback.

For example, let's say you live in Southern NJ. I would then have some decent suggestions. Conversely, there are large Florida, Mid Atlantic and New England contingencies on this web site.

Hope this makes sense.

Hey Peter

We got a 1975 23', potter built, inboard w/shaft, previous owner owned it since it was new. (will try and past an image below)

We fish out of Perkins Cove, which is in southern Maine.



Had the surveyor look at, he was as thorough as any surveyor I have ever seen and he said it was in great shape. The yellow color that the previous owner had is a bit aggressive, but somehow in person the color grows on you (I admit, when seeing it in pics I thought 'No way are we keeping it that color!'...eventually will change the color but have more important things to spend money on now.

First, the T-top. Any suggestions?

Second, the boat has a big gas inboard in it, the testing showed it had little use and all the numbers came up way better than expected. That said, we are leaning towards putting in a diesel. What would you guys suggest for an engine? We like the Volvo, but people seem to love Yanmars too. What would you guys do?

Appreciate the help.
