I was looking at a 89 black widow with twin ford 460s ..was wondering if this is a good boat or will the motors eventually be problematic for me ?

I'm positive with the 460's It came with OMC king cobra drives on it. Not many people work on those drives. In my opinion I would steer clear of it. They can be problematic.

thanks guys ! I’ll stay away lol , how bout early 2000s Baja with the 496 ho with bravo one drive ? I’m just getting into this game so I think single engine might be best for me

I consider any boat near twenty years old to need a full refurbish and new power, and then check off the boxes of anything positive.

The 496 is a great engine as long as you don’t plan on doing any mods to it, and yes, a single engine Bravo boat would be my recommendation. Parts and experience are plentiful and I’m so glad that I didn’t have twins on my first boat.
