looking at a 2002 2900 scr,

[shipwrecked]

looking at this boat,yet i dont see much information on here about them is there a reason for this?

[shrew]

What kind of information are you looking for? Just post and people are happy to assist. Most things aren't year or model specific.

The 2900 replaced the 2800 and the Maxum line was shut down in 2008. I haven’t heard any complaints about either model.

Are there any specific trouble spots i should look closely at? its got twin 4.3 with 450 hours on them, its a 2002, but looks to be well kept and very clean

Nothing that no other boat of its age. Serious cracks, leaks, run it with a few people on board to verify it can achieve WOT.

Another thing I would do is take temperature readings of the engine and exhaust with a IR sensor.

[shipwrecked]

What should I be looking for with those readings?

To verify none are over 160* F. Helm gauges are not accurate and don’t tell you if the exhaust is hot. Hot exhaust components can be a sign of internal corrosion and need replacing. Typically you get about 5 years from the exhaust if 8n salt water.

ok thanks, the risers and manifolds were replaced last year, but i will check anyway.
Im right up the bay from you coming out of bush river

[mmwjr]

Nice. I’ve been up that way and further but never on the Bush. Where do you plan to keep the boat?

Nice, I’ve been there once for dinner as my girlfriend has friends that are members as well.
