New boat help

**alankirby** · 24-01-2006, 12:13

Looking for a bit of info guys
I`m just about to get a new boat, a 2000 Merry Fisher 635 with a 88hp Yanmar (159 Hrs) and a Honda 8hp aux, subjet to sea trail.

Has anyone had any experience of these boats ???
As this is also my first diesel boat i`m looking for some info regarding looking after it and servicing ect.
Any help would be most welcome.
Cheers
Alan

Welcome to the site matey, that is a very nice boat, can't help you with any info on it's upkeep/sevicing but hang around, this site is like waiting for a bus, they all come along at once, by the way, some of them will be your new best freinds

Try the same question on the Poole Bay website (http://www.pbsbac.co.uk/). One of the members is a salesman for a Jeanneau supplier, should be able to give you some things to watch out for.

Hi Alan

Jeneau are nice looking bits of kit. I cant speak from experience but know a few that have them and all seem happy. As Steve says above you may get some info from pbsbac Tom Bettle is the guy you need to ask.

Martin

ps your registration is now approved

I have posted on the Poole Bay site as well now, so i`ll sit back and wait for the wealth of knowledge that is out there.

Great looking Boat Alan, considered one myself, opted for Ocquateue in the end, but a hard decicion, they look good on the water and behave well, if the engine has been serviced regular, then you should have a great summer. Maintenance is almost nil, keep her clean and tidy and enjoy.
