396 in West Babylon

W Babylon, NY. Is anyone familiar with a 2002 396 located there? I'm looking at it and wonder if anyone knows the boat? :captain2:

thanks but I passed on that one and bought a 2000 Silverton 392 and saved myself over $40,000.

I looked at that boat in August. It has the most beautiful interior a boat could have.
I believe the gas engines are new. The price seemed high, I found the same boat in NJ
which I just closed on.

When we looked at the boat the broker told us (confirmed by seller) that one engine was new, other rebuilt. Interior was almost like*new but close examination of fittings and joints around the deck(s) showed wear and stress - - e.g.; paint peeling at welds. And the instrument cluster bezels and switches on the bridge are severely weathered, probably should be replaced (>>>$$). And it is definitely overpriced.

When I asked about the engines if had any receipts or paperwork the idea was flatly refused.
It needed some minor fiberglass repair on the port side transom and there was a fibergalass repair
shop onsite. its about $35000 over priced in my book which is fine if the owner wants to keep it.
