  • Power24/24
    PLENTY

    270hp on a 40ft hull is plenty — you will not be the one holding anyone up. Judged as 270hp over your declared 40ft (212hp is the trawler benchmark). You told us two engines, so we counted the install instead of guessing it from your engine text.

    horsepower: 270 (declared) · length: 40ft (declared) · 212hp expected for a 40ft trawler · multi-engine bonus (declared), diesel bonus · engines: two engines (you told us)

  • Condition15/24
    USED AND HONESTowner-reported

    Owner reports 3/5 (used and honest) — taken at their word, not verified. well used, well earned (diesel clock read as 700-1500 — diesels run ten times as long between rebuilds). used and honest — self-reported, and the least exaggerating answer on the form.

    owner-reported condition 3/5 → 8/12 · hours: over-1500 (diesel → 700-1500) → 4/7 · claim context → 3/5
