32' Brendan

Rodney Davis · 06-16-2009, 10:54 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm relatively new to the site and I'm looking to maybe purchase a '87 32' Brendan with twin 210hp 5.9L Cummins with 2400hrs. It supposedly burns 12gph total at 18 knt cruise...seems like a low number to me. I'm looking for info on motors good or bad, fuel consumption, range, seakeeping, ect.

Thanks!
Rodney

Hey, Those numbers are pretty accurate. I had a 30 Blackwatch with the 250 hp 6bta' s in her and we burned alittle less 16 hr/ for both motors and that was at 23 knots. One thing to look at closely are the heat exchangers, we started to have a minoe over heating problem after about 1800 hours. Good Luck..

Thanks for the reply

I'll be sure to look into the heat exchangers
