I actually did the survey prior to the engine survey as the diesel mechanics were so busy. The rest of the boat is fine just little things. I think for now I'm going to run a new blowby tube to the intake so it will eat that blowby. Good enough to get it from texas to louisiana then really research my options on the engine. The engine is still running fine otherwise. It's just worn out. Comes up to full 2800 rpms.

I killed the deal and walked. 2 weeks later now the broker has contacted me and the owner offered it to me at 36k off what I was originally buying it for. So I'm buying the boat now, its too good of a deal to pass up.
Looks like you got it covered....even after spending on new power plants , my guess at this point you are in good shape boat value wise for years to come unless the market drops for some reason....good luck with your move.
