Hello

I am maybe buying a 1990 Birchwood 37 TS SS equiped with 2x Cummins 6bta 250hp.
Whats the general opinion on this boat?

Thanks in advance for all your help

We own and live on a TS37, with aft cabin, from 1986/7, ours was re-engined with 2 Yanmars around 270hp, actually Toyota Landcruiser lumps marinised. We love ours. We also had a spell living on a marine trader 47 in the USA that had super reliable cummins 6btas.

The TS37 was mostly used inland and with a bit of a keel steers and handles well at low speeds. Ours began life on the Thames before being re-engined by previous owners and relocating to salty stuff . Offshore we cruise at 15kts, 20 is WOT. but otherwise 6-8 is easy peasy, quiet, and more affordable. Not sure what differences are on the sport model. but assume basic hull is the same.
