I hadn't heard that. Guess fortunate I hadn't as we've been using prop speed for 8+ years including the Keys and Bahamas and haven't experienced...
But you said: "Get some first hand knowledge, don't believe everything you hear from the internet." Then you post on the internet and say to...
So you're saying not to believe you. Ok.
Typically some fault lies with multiple parties. I don't find that a characteristic of the reports as much as a fact of accidents. Two boats...
No vibration issues on mine. Of course, understand, our builder had quite a lot of experience in those engines in that boat.
Pacific Mariner 85' has MTU 10 V 2000's, 1500 HP and we've never had any problems. WOT 27 knots, cruise 23-24 knots, maximum decibel level of 60.
One more caveat. I don't know how I would have felt had I owned outboards for years, but I had not. My first tender and all since have been jets.
Can't speak as to Zodiak. Williams has long been the industry standard. Avon made some Seasport's for Europe which were very comparable (came...
We're long time jet fans while Capt J is a more recent convert. We have Williams 325's, 385's, 445's both gas and diesel and 565 diesel. We love...
There are plenty of Cummins dealers in the area. I don't know which ones have Zeus experience but Diesel Services of America, Sun Power, Certified...
You will get the usual list and I always start mine with Malcolm Elliott and Florida Nautical Surveyors. You'll also need an engine survey. What...
My guess is none although could be one in future years, but most likely insurance and owner will step up and end of the story. We'll only hear...
But that was 3 + 1 = 4
A United 777 made an emergency landing after an engine explosion resulting in United grounding all 777's with P&W 4000 engines. Another engine...
No, a new 737 problem. Edit. Not 737, just Boeing in general.
Clearly not the roughing it type and several things you mentioned that are really worth emphasis. First the word "livable". If you like to...
Excellent initial post. You have been thinking this through. I see that you suspect 2-3 weeks a year charter is the initial norm and that's good....
To see better. Same reason your computer monitors have grown and your televisions have grown. I now see 15" as a minimum size and prefer even...
First, I want larger than 12-14". My preferences in charting equipment are in this order: 1. Furuno 2.3. Garmin and Time Zero X. Not for...
The projected curve (based on others built) is actually much like our Riva's. At idle, .52 nmpg, then .38, .33, .21, .19, .16, .15, .14. That is...
