Buddy of mine is looking at a 2008 38’ Sabre with a pair of 400 hour 380 hp QSB’s. The boat has spent its life in the Columbia River in the Portland area where the water is fresh not salt. Pictures show engines that look new with no sign of dirt, grunge, leaking or anything bad at all. My buddy has seen the boat and been aboard for a sea trial. He said that the engines ran like new, showed no signs of overheating and made full rpm’s.
The question is, what is the likelihood that the aftercoolers will be ok after not being opened for 11 years?
I’m thinking that they should be serviced before the boat is placed into service in its new salt water home. Is there any chance that the coolers will be unserviceable?
I see that the seawater pumps look original so I suspect that they should be swapped out, anything else to be concerned about?
