Good afternoon all,

Am a former owner of a 2006 Sovran 44 and now looking at a 2007 & 2008 Sovran 39s with IPS 500.

I looked at the boat itself and it will be perfect for our needs in Florida (Bahamas, cruising, etc) but am new to the IPS and Volvo in general. As the boat has been out for about 10 years I would appreciate any advice (good and bad) about it and performance before I make the deal. I am a solid Tiara fan.

Also need info or recommendations for adding a dink lift to the stern, will be using a 11 foot with motors, about 250 lbs. See Sealift all over and they have a great rep.

Thanks for all of your comments.

Hi Bob.  We just purchased a 2007 39 Sovran with IPS 500s, and just installed a Freedom Lift.    Handles a 11.5 Capelli RIB with 25 HP Honda, and works beautifully.   best of luck!
