Express 360
I am under contract on a 2007 360 express with 2013 Yamaha 350’s. Flywheels replaced 170 hrs ago. Engines have right at 700 hours. Boat has tuna tower installed by jarred bay. One owner. 2019 fisher panda gen 151 hours. Survey came back good. Few hoses and lights out. 4 underwater lights not working. Waiting on compression check for engines. .7 gal per mile @ 4000 rpm. 30mph cruise speed. Is there anything maybe I don’t know that should concern me with this type of boat? Engines? Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks

Why are 2 of the engines not hitting 5900 rpm like the other?

Looks amazing BTW!

Surveyor said nothing to worry about. Could have been trimmed a bit different. But they were all in the threshold and it was common. I am a little suspect as well.

I thinkthere was some issue with wet core near generator vent in hull sides on the big models?

Beautiful boat. Love the color and the tower

bcooler It is a beauty!!! This may be difficult for you to understand....but I would be willing to trade you straight across for my 208, if you would consider delivery to Vancouver Island. :)

In addition to the hull survey, did you have a Yamaha tech go over the engines? If so, I would ask him about the RPM disparity; if not, I would have one go through them.

Sounds good from here. The biggest concern would be water intrusion. If the core and transom are good and the survey was done properly, you should be good to go.

Trapper, I’m sure there is a deeper meaning to your proposal. I’m looking for any advice. Care to elaborate? I was going to go with a center console, but wifey wants something that’s not only for fishing. That’s how I ended up here. 330 Was second option but the 360 will be more comfortable as I have a 12 and 14 year old.

Yes bcooler, there is a deeper meaning to my proposal, It is my desperate attempt to navigate my way through jealousy that appears to have arrived in seeing that 360 Express you are about to own. Had dream once..........:D
