1990 252G

['84_241_Offshore]

Looking at 1990 252G w/ Twin 06 175 Suzuki 4 Strokes. Any opinions on this package? Twin 175's enough power. Looking for something a little bigger than my 24 Offshore and get away from I/O's. Asking price is $16K.

I'd be most concern with the core material (transom, stringers and decking.

No info or opinions?

I recently purchased a 1991 25 Sailfish sportsbridge which was repowered with twin 200 etecs. Not sure I would want any less power than the 200's. I also bought it from my wife's boss who has had it under cover it's entire life (key in the pacific northwest) and dry stored in climate control during the winter. Stringers and transom are solid but the deck is a bit soft in one spot and I plan on replacing the fuel tanks this year since it has never been done. This boat is fast with the 200's, but again I don't think I would buy if it had less power.

Thanks for that info...........do you know what your cruising speed is at what RPM?
Not looking for a speed boat.........wonder if the 175's would be adequate?

84_241_Offshore,

Did you end up purchasing the 1990 Sailfish w/the twin 2006 Suzuki 175’s? If so, were thy adequate?

Just went to look at it today........did not even start the engines.
Was definitely a fishing boat, cabin is in rough shape, deck and hatches were solid. Hatches were previously re-cored but the reinstall was terrible....
Looks like original fuel tanks I think should be replaced. Engines look in OK shape......saw videos of them running recently.

Was really hoping for more feedback....

your getting what your getting... a boat that needs a lot of love and probably has some issues you were not planning on. comes down to price and how much work you want to put into her.
