the mechanic we had showed it to me right after loosing power and black smoking... it took out turbo fins first! they can and do eat valves... yum yum.. anyway the owners just like everything else on that boat Cowboyed up n bought new ones...I put KnN intakes of my own on after that ...NO MORE TURBO RIVITS! ... anyway the yanmars were great in the 440's and still run

mack boring has been great with looking up all serial #'s of any yanmars i have run across..

the valve issue is the only bad thing i have heard about yanmars,most love them...

you can rebuild a boat for a lot less than you think and have 3-5 years on warrantee and do it right! If your ever in ft lauderdale come by and see my work. we do have a bertram 28" that is our personal boat and we USE it we dive and fish this boat hard and it only has 225 four strokes and the hull speed is great! plus you can see from the top!

Got any pictures or any other info?I'm looking at a rebuild myself and would like any info you could pass along.

I'm a Carolina Classic fan and love the looks of the CC28.

That being said, I have always liked the Albin 28TE. They have some great family amenities and I really like the looks of the boat. They are very rugged boats as well.

The CC25 is a lot of boat for the money in the current market but is certainly not in the same size class as some of the boats mentioned.
