Anyone with info on early to mid 80s 41' with diesel power?
I know they are super heavy and fairly slow by today's standards. Does anyone know the weight, dry/wet? Performance with different diesel setups? Any insight how the hull performs? Any info at all would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for a diesel type, 40ish ft, that can be utilized for extended criusing, and also be a wave crusher. My search obviously starts with cigarette! Any other ideas i should be exploring? Thanks for any and all responses.

The one down side is ,most had '3208' series , cat diesels . NOthing wrong with that untill you need a rebuild . In the diesel world they are known as "the throw away motor " Something about not having sleeves and you can't rebore cylinders . You could cut the cylinders out and add sleeves but it is very pricy and risky . So basicly a 3208 series is a one shot motor . When it's tired , you buy new ! A freind of mine is down looking at one right now and asked me to haul it home for him if he gets it . I would like to know the acurate weight myself . It is on a trailer ,but we will load the boat and trailer onto a tractor trailer and bring it home . The Cig is a real nice boat though .Magnums are great too but a bit pricier . I like the Tempest as well .This same friend had a 42 tempest and it was a good boat . Good luck !

thanks boot, I appreciate your insight on the 3208s. Didn't know about that. I automatically assumed all diesels could be rebuilt easily. Thanks again.
great board!

I think the strategy i was planning was to run the 3208s till they died and repower with the lighter yanmar 420s. I talked to a friend that said the boat weighs 10500 dry, 13000 wet. You might reduce weight by a thousand #s and the added hp should probably push the boat to the upper 50s on top end. that ain't bad on a solid 41 with most if not all emenities including generator. Let me know on the progress of your friend, i would be interested in following his progress. You can private message me if it is more convenient or email is just as good.
thanks again
