1997 Bluebird 43'
Jay,
When I was searching for my purchase, I was looking at '97 and '98 units at the top end of those that I was considering. Ultimately, George's coach became available through eBay (from Mr. Oliver's) at a very good price. While there are some interior appearance issues, the coach had many advantages -- so I made my purchase. Here's some of the thoughts I had about the newer units - Pro - Newer, potentially less wear and tear. More modern systems, such as DD Series 60 engine instead of the 8v92 possibly only had one owner (a con, if the owner didn't take good care of it). Parts are probably less difficult to find. Interior more likely to be in good condition. Uses standard home-style plastic plumbing. (While this might be considered a con, I understand that the previous copper plumbing was a non-standard size that was difficult to get parts for.) Con - '97s are generally priced at around $200K -- there's quite a bit of depreciation yet to come out. For example, my '95 was more than $70K less than the asking price of most '97s and is essentially the same. Might just be at the age where stuff (that has an age-related wear pattern) is likely to fail. Over 40' in most states requires getting a non commercial class B driver's license. (Incredibly, they want you to demonstrate parallel parking the beast for the license.) Pete Masterson aeonix1@...
