Here is my experience based on having bought a boat with twin JT892 TA's at 790 hp. When I bought it, the engines had a little over 4,000 hours...
Could be bad injectors, as the presence of black smoke can only be explained by incompletely burned fuel. Unlikely that one bad injector would...
I had the contact info for the guy that ran Brower, Russ something. He is now semi-retired, but is more than willing to help. I can't find his...
This particular customer's dissatisfaction may be well justified. He was very knowledgeable about boats and didn't sue because he needs the money...
My boat doesn't have the sleek lines, etc., of the sport fisher I had before it. On the other hand, it isn't painful to look at, either, the way...
That depends on the transaction, and the requirements of any governmental agencies involved. Many US jurisdictions require US notaries. In real...
It may be that the internet is what tells my system it is time for an upgrade, so maybe without internet there wouldn't be a problem. The only...
Sonos is also a PIA because it won't let you use the system if there is a pending software upgrade. And each box (and therefore zone) has its own...
My boat, made 30 years later, has one. It is functional.
I have never been south of Acapulco, but to get that far south from San Diego you need about 450 nm range, and with that you will have to fuel up...

I am surprised that wasn't negotiable. When I ordered my boat, Mikelson's stock contract said buyer has to inspect before it leaves the factory...
I don't know of any boat quite like the Nomad and I don't know of anyone selling. My next choice would be to have a Nordlund made.
I have a Nomad and have taken it up and down the west coast of US, Mexico and Canada. Nomads are semi-custom, so the layouts vary tremendously....
I am not sure of the Virgin Islands, but in most, if not all, US jurisdictions, some penetration of something somewhere is required to meet an...
My daughters each took a semester-long class like that at their all-girls high school. They got to practice on a guy dressed up on one of those...
In Cabo, you will have an additional problem -- hurricane coverage. I pay extra for the privilege of having my boat in a hurricane zone, but...
So, between my experience and Olden's you can now safely conclude that fuel for your trip will cost at least $6k, but maybe less, or as much as...
I don't think anyone else's answer to this question will be much use to you. But, I took my boat from San Diego to PV, consuming 1200 gallons,...
