Considering 1987 24' Sorrento cuddy

[JeffN]

Any opinions on an 87 SR Sorrento cuddy? I heard that the Seville series had some probs but not too familiar with the Sorrentos. It's been lift kept since new, almost 1 owner.

From my understanding the sorrento is a glorified Seville. It might even have replaced the Seville. What size are you looking at? I know the 25footer Sorrento was VERY tricky to get a handle on while docking with a wind. The height of the boat did not balance out with the beam, causing it to be not that stable.

If its the 23-24 footer then its a good boat. I call it the Pachanga cruiser. Looks are close to that of the Pachanga model. Nice deep gunwalls and certainly plenty of power.

This one...interesting how designers can build unbalanced boats, like some old Thompsons.

Ok, another find: 87 SR 230 cuddy. Looks really clean 100hr driveline, embarrassed to say it's on Eboy but I would inspect & reject if a dud when picking up in person.

Is this the good model you referred to Matt?
