Hello,
I'm a newbie to this forum and hoping I can get some advice.
I'm looking to buy either a Princess 410 or 380 the majority of which seem to be fitted with Caterpillar engines. I've seen some horror stories about the Cat 3116TA 355hp engines but there seem to be a lot about, many brokers details state "fitted with the preferred caterpillar engines" but found no evidence to substantiate the claim. Are they any good? I would also like some indication from peoples experience of potential fuel consumption accepting there are many variables here, a ball park idea would be good. I have the Cat data but nothing like real experience!
Any comments on the choice of boat would also be welcome
Thank you in anticipation of some useful replies.
