Hi Kerry, since you say, “Wow those suckers are loud”, I suspect your J&T Detroits are the 6-71s. That seems to be the most common diesels in the Uniflites. Being common is a good thing. Parts and info for my 8.2L Detroits is somewhat difficult to come by.
I haven’t found any way to confirm that mine is the second-to-the-last one built. I was told that from buy her original owner. I was most fortunate to meet him in Sausalito, CA. (He was passing by and recognized my boat and later introduced himself.) So, anyway, I don’t know anything about the Last 42’ DCMY Uniflite. I do have a friend with a 1985, 48 (Chris Craft). It was identical to my 42’ Double Cabin except for the 6 foot hull extension for the cockpit. There is also a 1978, 48’, Cockpit motoryacht in our marina. I think it is very much like your 42’ except the master stateroom layout and the cockpit. She runs (loud) 6-71s. I have two water tanks under the master berth. They are, combined, reported to equal 160 gallons. I have not taken the time to measure them to confirm that. I know that they are plumbed to act as one tank and no valving is required. The reason for two seems to be that the separation allows for structural support for the bed. What brand/type of “diesel heat” do you have? That is something I would like to add. Right now I am replacing my water heater. The old one quit and upon removal it was found to be a pile of rust. It was in there for at least 24 years. I am replacing it with the modern equivalent, Raritan 1700. Access is very difficult and I had to disassemble part of my genset to get at it. Others on this forum have told me how simple their water heaters are to reach.
