Buying a 2001 Tiara Coronet 29 - brucembh - 04-15-2017
Should be closing on it early May. It's been a long time for me running a power boat. Grew up on small cruisers, but have spent the last 30+ years sailboat racing in the Great Lakes area. (Lake Michigan & Charlevoix)
Looking forward to running twin inboards....love the grace of spinning on its axis.
It has 1150 hrs, 5.7HO's @ 320hp. I'll be cleaning up it's salt life in our fresh water. Well kept, non Florida boat. Risers in 2015
Anything I should know during the survey and sea trial? What is the expected max rpm for a Coronet? Crusader recommends 5,000 for this engine. 4900?
Quirks of the boat? (asking after the fact!)
Appreciate all you know!
Bruce

Hello Bruce,
I would highly recommend a marine surveyor. Check hull for water and delimitation. Especially near anchor locker, but entire hull.....
Its a great boat, you will not be disappointed.

Compression check, then survey and sea trial. On order!
