I am on the lookout for a small cabin cruiser.
I found a 262 Monterey, but seller was not being honest so I walked away. If you are bothered you may want to see my original post here- http://www.marineengine.com/boat-fo...-2L-D-Tronic-250-on-Monterey-262-CR-Year-2002
Since then, I have now found a Monterey 256 Cruiser from 1995. It originally had a V8 Volvo Penta Petrol (gas) engine, but since 20004 it has been fitted with a 230hp Detroit Diesel/VM Engine Engine Type - 97B & Version - V42 (whatever those mean) , coupled to a Volvo Penta DP 290 Sterndrive. The boat looks to be in nice condition for her age, however I do not know much about the Engine/SD combo.
We will perform sea trial with a mechanic and survey it next Wednesday.
Do you have some info/advice on the particular Engine in question? Thanks in advance !
