Engines are very clean and appear in good mechanical condition including painted surfaces, engine mounts, hoses, and wiring.

Engine hours shown on the gauges reflect total time since new (3,349 hours). New engines were installed in 1996 and the original hours were retained on the dials. Total engine hours since this time are approximately 1,400 based on customary annual usage by the owner.

The engine room is accessed from beneath the saloon floor by raising the steps to the galley area. The space is tight but provides access to the interior hull and most of the compartment with both sides of the engines accessible for servicing and maintenance.
