Hi,

looking at a targa 39 with mercruiser
dtronic 300s,think it is about 1996
vintage, anything to be wary of,

Thanks.

Check which mercruisers it has. If its the 7.2l V8 diesels then probably avoid or plan to re-engine in the next few years.

Boat wise, the hull is the same as the Targa 40 (and the earlier 38) and they are a pretty good sea boat. Cabin is the same layout as the 40 as well, but less curvy. goos size and a nice family boat. Blue hulls or white hulls are prefered, green hulls are hard to shift. A green hulled boat with V8 Mercs would need to be half the price of a blue/white Volvo engined boat.

There are a couple that have the Yamaha engines which, while quirky, give more power than the Volvo and are reliable, with the super lovely hydradrive legs.

its ablue hull,waiting on engine spec
at the moment, a figure of sixty five
thousand euro is being asked i think,
how does that sound.

very competitive it is 40-30k EURO down on price
if it is clean and tidy go ahead

 

[Whitelighter]

yep, €65k is cheap. Very cheap, nearly half price in fact.

Suspetc it might have the V8 Mercs for that price, but even so worth a punt if the rest of the boat is nice.

 

[cataldo]

yes i offered e50k,so i will
raise my offer tomorrow subject a survey.

Thanks for the good info

Mercruiser had no D-tronic in 1996... I never saw a 39 with Mercruiser diesels anyway. Only Volvo diesels and petrols, and a few Yamaha diesels. Now for sale here in Holland is hull nr.1, green with KAD 42's.

Do you have a link from the advert of this boat?
