http://www.helmsmantrawlers.com/43-pilothouse/ As noted in a recent thread, I am considering this boat, new from Taiwan. My background is...
Agree, I have been eyeing Sabres for awhile. The re-sell on these is amazing, for them, not me as a buyer. The Back Coves are also solid, but I...
Thanks for the feedback. I will check out the past postings. Agree, my preference would also be Cummins, and the 425s in particular. That Lagoon...
I am interested in possibly ordering a new one for my wife and I, as we are close to retirement and plan more cruising along the West Coast, most...
It's probably on your list for all heat exchangers but I would do them all if any doubts, especially the fuel coolers. I am going to hit them...
I have 2 of the D6, but the 370 hp models. Mine are still under the warranty, so I can't touch them. That number sounds about right. Maintaining...
Where does the Ding go? For a boat this large, I would think that is a must. Overall, it looks interesting and the aft glass area is intriguing....
I bet that E4 will be a great boat for that trip. There was one in the slip next to me a couple years ago. Built like tank. Do you have the D6?...
Great boating weather lately. Air and water are warm here in SoCal. Our boat is 44 ft. And I often run it solo, especially off season when the...
I don't have plans of ever doing the GL, but I enjoyed reading this thread.

This string has taken some turns, and some interesting view points on gas vs diesel. There is plenty on the web on this subject, and strong...
Our previous 39 ft Sea Ray had a couple of Merc 8.1 gassers. They ran like champs, and we're cheap to maintain. For pleasure boats up to around...
Good thread. Should be required reading for people considering their first boat.
I would assume hydraulic.
I am not going to make any judgments, because we don't know the details yet. Like others, I am also involved with shoreside construction and lock...
It sucks when you spend a lot of time and money, and the boat lets you down in the summer when you are ready for some longer trips. First world...
The first pair I had in 2011 lasted 2 years. I asked around the yards, and others in the industry in my area and the Lumishore seemed to get...
I checked out AC a few times last year and was not impressed, at least for so cal waters. On other forums, AC has been taking to task for some...
Check out club sea ray and there is a string on the venture from a few years ago. If I remember correctly it was a bit underpowered and for...
