2556... inherent problems that one should look for when buying?-gctid810103

[Centerline2]

I'm sure this question has been asked many times before, but I am looking specifically at the 2556 model in the years of '89-'93, and would like some information regarding any problems these boat were born with, or developed over time.

Im aware the OMC outdrive could begin to give problems over time (until the gear-pak upgrade has been done), and some have said the Alpha1 drive is a bit weaker than would be preferred, and I know about problems caused by the aging plastic thru hulls and other possible BWL leaks, but im more interested in any inherent problems with the hull, leaking windows, hull joint and any issues with the cabin components, helm stations and general finishings....

AND... as they both have a fly bridge, what is the difference between the 2556 command bridge and the 2556 convertable? thanks

The difference is probably just in the name given at the time of manufacturing (download can correct me if I'm wrong) Any older boat can have its problems with leaking fuel tanks and rotten structure. Personally I'd go with the later model versions that were fitted with the bravo drive
