Looking for any info anyone could share on this fine vessel.

Dont have a clue! But this seems like a nice resto on an older boat, right?

im interested in the boat. So im trying to schedule a visit and inspection. No surveyors available in Panama like in the US, so any pointers on what to look for as far as weak points or common problems with these boats? Engines are 525 that have been refreshed recently "in Puerto Rico" Information locally is scarce.

Thanks!

Paint job isnt factory, the word Fountain on the deck isnt in the correct font and looks screwy IMO.

Interior is also custom, and is nice looking.

Do your research (if you havent already) on the junk headers (CMI I think ?) that the 525 EFI's come with.

Unless it has 525 S/C's, they have different headers.

Yeah I've been reading on that. Shame they are pieces of junk. Is it so for the tails as well or just the headers?

What are good replacements for the cmi headers? i've read that the stainless marine manifolds work well.

What model year is the boat? I think the later version of the header was better]
