Princess 385

[Gludy]

I am considering purchasing a Princess 385 with twin volvo 306hp engines.
Is there anything I should look out for on this model?
Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

I apologise for thw wrong post below stating 385 - the forum system will not allow me to delete it!

Not much to look for, the head lining may require replacing £1000-1600
the boat should pull 27 knots fully loaded 29-30 with half fuel and little water, oil pressure 55 at speed more than 30 at idle after run. the hull deep v and rides bow up trim tabs make some difference, check for stress cracks around the center cleats, and also any repaired bow damage.
I have been very happy with mine, prices have risen over the last year but it still is the best value boat for space and performance you can get. prices are around the £80000 for a 88 boat with 306,s
