Kind of interested in a 2004 330 that got a new pair of F-300s in 2012. Just under 300 hours on the engines.

Last year, the boat was highly upgraded with cushions, fridge, micro, re-built genset and more.

So, my questions are:

1) Comments on the 2004 330?

2) Comments on this boat with F-300s?

3) Comments about a slightly older engine swap?

4) Comments on buying a 13 y/o boat?

Thanks in advance! We hope to get a look at it this Thursday.....
 
I have a 2003 that I repowered with 2011 F-250's (4.2L Offshores) that I had from my previous boat. GREAT boat and the F-300's will be perfect on that hull. However, if it's the one on boattrader, I would push hard on the price. For what they are asking, you could purchase a similar year hull and repower with brand new motors (with a 5 year warranty) plus all new electronics. I personally hugely enjoy the refit process, but if you're looking for turn key, that's a nice looking boat.
 
I am interested in comments on this as well. We are planning to purchase an 09 with 350's. I do not see many available with that power option, to be able to compare with.

Is this boat in Port Orange,FL? If so, I know it and I am friends with the guy who repowered the boat in 2012. If not, then never mind. I was on an Express 330 repowered in 12 and it was sweet with 300s. Just say'n
 
you won't get more than 600hp. max rating for that year. are they the v-8 or 6's
 
I have a 2006 that I repowered with 2013 F300s. 4 years and basically 600 flawless hours. Blew a water pump once 20 hours before scheduled service. Could not be happier with the boat or the engines. Go for it
