We have two Don Aronow designed Banana 24's for sale. Both of these
vessels have been in dry dock for 15 years +/- and are in need of some
elbow grease and mechanical work. The 1990 is powered by a 3.6L 180
HP (6 cylinder) Mercury / BMW D219 diesel Turbo AC with a Bravo II
drive and the 1991 is powered by a 4.2L 210 HP (6 cylinder) Mercury /
BMW D254 diesel Turbo AC also with a Bravo II drive. Own a piece of
racing history for short money. $4,500.00 each or buy both for $7,500.00.

05-19-2014 07:31 AMNice analogy. Did you test drive them before delivering them? If so, your comments at the time must have been interesting.......

05-19-2014 03:43 PMNo, and I am in favor of the concept especially in boats,going to Europe, but the power from diesels back then was so poor they would have been better off with a single 200 Hp outboard on the transom and open up the cockpit for more room.
Everyone is free to decide what their boat should look like, but when these were built for such a narrow and specific purpose, there was a better way to do it. Plus with an outboard the resale would not be facing the problem they have now with two outdated diesels with technology from when the 70's?Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!

05-20-2014 08:58 PMLook at the key words in the ad. Drydock for fifteen years...how about sitting on the top deck of the yacht during rainstorms etc....covered, maybe, maybe not. Nothing to find here without a moisture meter.
The yacht has been sitting in one spot tied up in Key West for at least that amount of time, so how much rain does KW get? How were the boats drained while sitting in dry dock?
Much better deals out there.....like the original 24 that wrote about in the other thread.Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!
