Tullio Abbate
What can anyone tell me about Tullio Abbate boats made in Italy
I may look at a 1984 42' with twin 3208 Cats
Anyone either present or past owners any comments on these boats
Transom, Stringer, Hull rot in older models.
Handling
Performance
Upkeep of hull
etc.
Thx
I boat on the Great Lakes, Mainly the Cdn side.

Are you looking at the one at Sima? If so, there are plenty of these still running around on the Med. The model was just a variation on his basic runabout that were popular for use on Italian lakes, albeit with a cabin added. Any competent surveyor should give you an idea of basic hull/engines condition.

A buddy of mine owns the gas one. Big blocks & TR Drives. He is located about 5 miles West of where the SBI Mentor race will be held at the end of August. May be a good time for a road trip!

If I was looking for an Abbate I'd probably prefer one by Bruno.

TheRush- What is the performance like on your buddy's TA? i.e cruising speed, top speed. Fuel consumption is not a real big issue for me on Lake Ontario as the number of hours put on a boat in a season here is about 50. How does it handle in 2 - 3 footers or more?
