3500 Express Maneuverability
#7

It has the Cummins 450 Diamond Turbo 450's with about 612 hours.  In terms of manuverability, we find it very easy to maneuver using just the engines. Last year we had a very tight slip, and a long Bertram directly in front of our slip. At first, even with a strong gusty wind, my fiance was very surprised how easily we were able to move forward, turn in.place and have plenty of room to head out. We also have a bow thruster  which we never used!
Our boat also has a hydraulic swim platform, which extends out 4 feet.
The boat does weigh about 24,000 lbs., and this definitely comes into play while driving and maneuvering her.
Let us Thumbs Up  know if you have any other questions.

Hi

I have also a 1997 3500 Express and I want to put a bow thruster. Can you lelp me with some external and internal photos of your?
