We are in contract for a 2001 3500 Open hardtop with Cummins 700 hours, possibly third owners but not sure. Looking for input on things to look out for and have read a little about moisture issues in the coring but any and all advise is greatly appreciated. Hopeful all goes well and we get to close on the boat otherwise we will still be in the market for a Tiara.
We live in Stuart area and plan to do local trips and a little fishing at first until we get up our confidence.
Thank You,
Bob and Susie
I own a 2000 3500 Open in Ft Pierce, live in Orlando, boat lives in Ft Pierce. If you have any questions let me know. There are a lot of little things to look for which are fairly simple to fix if you are hands on. No boat is perfect but these Tiara's are an awesome boat. I would make sure all maintenance was done like after coolers, heat exchangers, raw water pump and impellers as these can be higher cost items to repair. Ensure you can turn over rated rpm of 3000 to ensure long life on the engines.
