Power & Mechanical — The Headline

• Both engines rebuilt, winter 2024/25 — you begin ownership with fresh power, not a question mark.
• New exhaust risers and manifolds installed at the same time — the classic big-block-gas wear items, already addressed.
• Twin MerCruiser 496 MAG (8.1L), 375 hp each on Bravo III drives — torquey, proven, and ideally suited to a cruiser of this weight.
• Kohler 7.3 kW generator with just 78 hours — effectively like-new.
• Complete service records available for review.
• Low hours since the 2024/25 rebuild, with a clean engine room that backs up the maintenance story at a glance.

The 496 is a beloved powerplant in this hull — strong off the holeshot, relaxed at cruise, and easy to live with. With both engines freshly rebuilt and the exhaust renewed, the heavy mechanical lifting is done and documented.

Provenance & Care — Condition Like This Is Rare

• Two-owner boat, purchased by the current owner directly from the original owner in 2018.
• Originally a freshwater boat — no early saltwater life, the single biggest factor in long-term hull, hardware, and engine health.
• Lift-kept in a boatshed every summer during her freshwater years — no bottom growth, no blistering, no standing in the water.
• Stored indoors every winter since new — and still is today — no weather, no UV, no freeze cycles.
• Lightly used in saltwater under current ownership, always conscientiously maintained.
• Meticulously maintained and extremely clean throughout, with service records available.
