Crusader 350XL 5.7 270HP LOCKED 94 Carver 300
- Posted by: ariannamarie1026 » September 24th, 2025, 2:30 am
- Forum: Gas Engines/Transmissions
Hello Everyone, I need some advice! We’re first-time boat owners of a 1994 Carver 300 Aft Cabin with twin Crusader 350 XL 5.7 engines, purchased in late 2021. The engines were rebuilt in 2019 at 535 hrs, purchased at 578 hrs and only put on 31 hrs. The boat is in FL and we are in IL are we were only going down once every 3 months until last year. After an oil change in July 2024, we used the boat for a week and closed it up. In October, Hurricane Milton hit, destroying the enclosure, but that appeared to be all until we arrived a few days later and tried starting the boat, and the port engine started right up but nothing from the starboard engine not even a click. We attempted to replace the starter and turn it manually but it is locked. We had 3 mechanics come out and they believe there are signs of water intrusion. The insurance company wants the engine taken apart further to determine liability, but we’ve already spent $2,000 on assessments, and we are paying $575 a month for slip fees plus insurance. I just want to sell the boat now due to my mom getting ill and I can no longer travel. We have contacted the FL department of insurance for intervention but all they said was the insurance has the right to determine liability and have the engine further disassembled and if they believe the engine had signs of intrusion from faulty parts we have to pay for the tear down. We’re considering selling the boat with one non-working engine but cannot find a broker who will list with 1 working engine. We want advice on whether to proceed with repairs while managing ongoing costs or sell as is. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
