That's what I thought, it would be the most expensive Starcraft I have seen in a while and likely a deathtrap with that much weight on top.

Re the Sea-ray 24'.
What is it you see or don't see with the fuel system? I don't see an overflow gas escape route/tube from the fuel pump to the carb., all I see is 2 chrome supply tubes.
I can't see if the alternator and start motor have explosion screens in them.
The cooling system seems standard, fresh water cooled using coolant in the block.
others like Wolf have a 383 , a modified 350. might be hard to park at low rpm?

fuel pump rupture tube is
sorry if i offended anyone, as a mechanic it boil's my blood to see unsafe or stupid stuff on a boat that someone obviously tried hard to do a nice job, but the problem is that it is for sale like this, and a buyer may think it is proper
that is correct on the fuel pump hose, also a automotive carb- marine carbs do not have 3/8 vacuum ports for vacuum brakes, pvc line run to the brake port on the carb, not the spark arrestor on the carb. next you have expensive dry joint manifolds running raw water in them is stead of blocking off at the riser. then the plug on the riser instead of a pipe plug. talk about a old inner transum plate is from the 70's it is a old mr plate, not from a 1985

I agree, that's definitely is not an '18 pictured in the add.

Now THAT is a descriptive ad! IMO It got a bit out of hand when he mentions that it’s only ever had 3 ply toilet paper in the head.

Is it true that that Commander only holds 150 gallons of fuel? Assuming holding back 10% for reserve, leaves you with 135 gallons usable.
Twin V8s are going to burn 2 x 12 gph or 24 gph. That gives you 5.5 hours of usable run time... or 5.5 x 18 knots = 99 nautical miles before you're refuelling...

PASTE from ad;
Tankage
• 75 gallon Fresh water tank
• 150 gallon Fuel tank, welded aluminum
• 30 gallon Holding Tank
• 8 gallon Hot water tank
END PASTE
I see 150 gallons in the post. 150 gallons fuel capacity, which is 135 usable gallons with 10% reserve for safety. 24 gph at 18 knots (20mph) works out to only 129 miles range on 135 gallons. You would be running on fumes if you tried to go Burrard Civic to Thrasher and back twice for fishing without refuelling.
EDIT;
I see now where you see 197 gallons. Looks like they list tankage twice in the ad, and different sizes at each point...
PASTE;
Tank
Fresh Water Tanks: 1 Aluminum (70 Gallons)
Fuel Tanks: 1 Aluminum (197 Gallons)
END PASTE.
With 197 gallons you'd be much better. Could go fishing across the strait twice before refuelling.
No Tuna runs tho... I bet you the cruise is faster than 18kn at 3200-3400.... Which would make it all a non-issue.

LOL, Pretty much every DE that gets posted has the LOA incorrect. And this add gets it wrong twice stating both 18'6" and 19'. It's a DE 185 and the LOA is 18'3". It's pretty easy to look it up. Same goes for the Malibu, LOA 17'1", definitely not 18'.
One day when I sell my 176, I'll be sure to sneak in an extra 5".

12 GPH at 28 mph 3300 rpm with 185 gallon (or so) tank. I fish for days while running the espar on turbo
. Unlimited storage space.

It’s actually 197 US gallons and 164 imperial gallons hence the confusion.
My twin diesel 30 uses about 14 gph running at 35mph which gives me a range of about 360 miles.
Which gets me from Vancouver to Bamfield and back. For a boat it’s weight, size, and versatility it’s pretty good.
Still kinda hurts to fill up a 100+ gallons though.
Do v8’s in a twin install actually burn 12 gph each? I’m think more 16 to 20 gph. RC what did your single Bayliner burn?
