Jeanneau Cap Camarat 8.5 CC

[j24jam]

Does anyone have any experience on the Jeanneau Cap Camarat 8.5 CC?

Will be used as a day boat in the med.

Just looking for general opinions, anything to look for when viewing them, known faults etc?

Thanks in advance

What engine ?

 

[j24jam]

We are looking at twin 225 yamahas, although i am not looking advice on the engine brands themselves....

Advice on if this is too much power etc would be appreciated though

I've driven a few of these in the med around this size, not the 8.5 but the old 755WA and the 925WA and I have to say I prefer the ones with a big single Yam 350 V8s, the twins are sluggish by comparison and handling is nowhere near as fun. I don't really see the need for a twin if you are coast hugging in the med.

The twin engines are more down to market availabilty rather than my preference...

One would be ideal, less maintenance etc...

AH ok, but you could always flog the two and replace with a new one.
