Hi folks, I've searched around on he forums and got some info, but a bit more input would be appreciated.
Here's the scenario:
We are looking at a 4087 with the Cummins 250's. She has higher hours at about 2300, but has been well maintained. There is one new turbo, and all the injectors have been recently rebuilt. She reached 2650 RPM at WOT when the mechanic took her out. She runs smooth, but she is smoky, like really smoky. The solonoids on the pre heaters are not working - the surveyors' initial thought is this could be the reason. They had the boat running for 20-30 min so she wouldn't have reached full operating temp. We took oil samples but don't have the results yet.
Otherwise, she's a good boat, but I don't want a smoker. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Mark
