Re: Norseman 447 in annapolis MD

These boats are getting pretty old, so a lot of their current value is going to be in how well and how much they have been refit. Things like tanks being replaced and boats being repowered. You could ask about specifics on the Norsemen Owners group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Norseman447/

Bob Perry's book also had notes on the 447.

Re: Norseman 447 in annapolis MD

Interesting reading on removing a 447 fuel tank. On the boat you are seeing, replaced in 2010.

The engine is 2005 vintage with close to 4000 hours. Still worth seeing. The decks are fiberglass, like ours, so a plus there.

Twice around the world-how is the rudder-skeg assy and steering cables holding up ? Pedestal ? Goose neck on main boom ? Sails are tired by now for sure (2001). V-drive maintained well ? Max Prop been rebuilt lately (since 2010) ? When was the last round the world cruise ? Blisters and groundings hidden by a fresh paint job ?

Basically every system needs a look over, but then a real survey of a boat like this takes about 8 hours and you should be there too.

Engine and rigging surveys are separate.
