Info on 1985 fairline command ridge

[RogerH]

Hello. New to this site. Big question. Looking at a 1985 fairline 28command-bridge in Vancouver Canada. I don’t see any info on these boats. Has BMW 200 has motors and z legs. Does anybody know much on these boats. How many and why no info . Thanks Roger

I'm in Vancouver and the BMW engines and drives have been replaced on my 32 sedan bridge with VP GSX 5.7's and dpsm drives. I've anecdotally heard that the BMW engines didn't stand up, were hard to get anyone to work on and parts were a big problem, even little things. I'd stay away from that one because of those things.

What were they asking? I got mine for $21k, with the engines and drives done 525 hours before.

And I've never had problems getting any parts that I have replaced already, and I don't anticipate any problems in the foreseeable future either.
