New to the group,
I am looking at purchasing a 2000 3800 Open. The motors seem to smoke a lot when cold. I am aware the mechanical engines tend to smoke more than the electronic motors. These seem to smoke more than I am used to. It would seem the smoke is fuel related is this normal for this engine? what have others done to eliminate some of the smoking? Vessel has 700 hours and is used regularly by the current owner. TIA
