Boat slips are difficult to get in Southern California, particularly at that popular size (ie 30-50'). You may end up needing to buy a used boat...
Purchasing consumer carbon credits is like: beating someone up and giving to the hospital charity... it may absolve your conscience but the person...
I have met with Wally representatives (not for the 118) and the 118 was always for sale, but meanwhile was a demo boat and test boat for the...
I think you should build up your experience level before thinking about crossing any open ocean. The Gulf Islands are one of the best cruising...
I think the nautical stairway project is in permanent limbo. One marina was attempted in Baja as part of the project only to be abandoned. Being...
Very nice with the blue hull! Thanks for posting the pics. As an Azimut owner I have been to the Viareggio yard and it is a nice facility.
That's one of the features I like about the Ferretti.
I saw that picture! Amazing.
3-4 staterooms, at least a 10' preferrably a 12' jet tender, maybe a jetski, a couple of kayaks (but these could be lashed up just about...
Thanks everyone for your replies. I am familiar with the Marlow. Great seaworthy features. Nice long range. Priced attractively too. The...
I find that depreciation unrealistically low. Perhaps it is possible if demand for that model is high and there are no good substitutes. In...
There definitely is more wear at higher RPM: higher pressures, higher vibratoins and higher temperatures will cause metals, oils and fuel to...
It is true the throttle position does not necessarily corresspond to engine load. The engine electronics gives a better indicator of the engine...
High performance diesels that one would find in pleasure boats are not intended to run at full throttle for extended periods. Check out the web...
That 86' looks more like a 100'. 85' is definitely in the upper end for the two of us. I will singlehand my 65' now and have even docked...
The Moonen 94 is very nice. It is probably too big for the two us to manage though. The model that "Mov-it" shows is not this boat though, right?
Yes, I agree that with a planing boat you're either planing or at displacement speed. In between would consume too much fuel and put too much...
That looks really nice. Is that a Moonen?
That is sad to see. Sounds like a lot of the above issues should have been repaired by the owner. While some boats may be more robust than other...
I completely agree with Bill: lowering the speed on a planing hull significantly increases range. Perhaps not to what an optimized displacement...
