Hi I’m just about to purchase the above 2016 boat…..is there anything I should specifically look out for? It appears in good condition and had a survey 12 months ago which looks fine…it’s out the water atm so advice appreciated. Thanks

It appears in good condition and had a survey 12 months ago which looks fine…it’s out the water atm so advice appreciated. Thanks Congratulations! lovely boat. The survey should have picked up most things, but do check the skin fittings and critically the hose connectors that attach to the skin fitting. Normally it is these that dezincify first... Think you are a sail drive so just check when the seal was last replaced and also the hull joint in case of any evident movement. But mostly enjoy your new Toy! Malcolm

I have a 2014 SO409, same hull as the 41DS and pretty similar overall. Since it is 2016 you do have a sail drive SD60 like I do so no worries on that end. Overall it is a very good boat nothing special to focus on other that the typical items when you purchase a boat. Enjoy and congratulations.

It appears in good condition and had a survey 12 months ago which looks fine…it’s out the water atm so advice appreciated. Thanks The early 41DS models had a problem with the gear select cable and premature failure due to the routing of the cable. There was a mod instruction by Jeanneau, rerouting the cable and altering the bracket by 90 degrees at the saildrive. See other posts on the failure on this forum. We have had our 41 DS for 6 1/2 years, a great boat. A shame they no longer manufacture them.

Many thanks I’ll certainly have a good look to see if it’s been modified when I’m next on the boat….also do you know how many of this models they made? Is anyone based on the Hamble or nearby that would like to give me some advice about the boat generally? Thanks

Does anyone know how many boats of this version were made? I understood they started building them in 2012/13…..As a new owner I would like to chat to more experienced owners, especially those around the Hamble were we are based….. Thanks

Thanks Worth popping to Seaventures. They should be able to tell you how many were made. They are also a good source for parts when needed.
