I rebuilt both of my Cummins QSM11 635hp in the boat, I have to say Great Boat and Great Engines ,

I come from owning 1 Searay and 3 Silvertons and Love my Tiara and know it now very well and is my best boat I have ever owned and Plan on keeping this one for a long time

I have a 4200 Open with 660 HP QSM-11 engines. I have 525 hours on the engines. I'm curious as to why yours had to be rebuilt in a late model 4100???

Actually I bought a Tiara (560hrson it)that swallowed water through exhausts due to it's strut hitting a rock on plane and causing rear of boat to take on water, it was after this that I learned how solid these boats really are, rest of hull was untouched and solid, I was told I need to pull engines to rebuild them at a cost of $20,000 just to get them out and was told to get new long blocks, these are sleeved engines so I had to try, not a fun job but it can be done, probably the hardest thing was putting all the piston oil cooling nozzles in upside down standing on your head with a mirror but with a lot of patience it can be done also. To me this engine package is the best for as they have plenty of power and you can lay on top of them and get to both sides of the engines fairly easily and with no glowplugs to break off and no intake or block heaters to worry about, these engines are fairly simple and do not smoke for more than 6 seconds even when cold

The Tiara 4100 and the 4200 Opens (built on the same hull) are great boats! They run well, are dry and are efficient. The Cummins QSM11s are also great engines.

The difference between a Tiara and a Sea Ray in quality are night and day. Glad to see you recognize the difference. Sea Ray is your average run of the mill production boat with a great marketing team. Tiara is much more low production and quality oriented. They are not perfect, but they are one of the top in their class and I appreciate they are American made and family owned!
