Do you think a SC engine is cheap on fuel? Also you would have to burn premium fuel where the HP 500’s can run on reg. All combinations have advantages and disadvantages
+1...you are so right my grasshopper.

My point is I would buy a smaller boat with twins (38 footer) rather than take on a 42-47 foot boat with triple big blocks (let alone one that is 16 years old). I cant imagine the resale market is very good for anything with a triples and I wouldnt want to deal with the expense of maintaining and feeding 3 big blocks. Im not debating that a pair of supercharged big blocks would need as much fuel as triples to go the same speed.

Ragged Edge:

I have owned a 32 fountain without rotted stringers. Do some research on this era fountain-they had issues with stringer rot from non treated materials being used. That's the main reason you would want a good surveyor to look at the boat.

And you get a fricking life a##wipe if I didn't have the means to buy and run the boat I wouldn't be posting about it.
