Difficult to answer this one. You are excellent candidates for the right situation but finding it may be very difficult or even impossible. I'll...
You do realize the post you quote is 13 years old? Although Chris did last post here 15 months ago so there is hope.
Those are possibilities in the recreational world as well. One thing I've observed is that most who get yachts built are experienced and...
Can't say where you are as here we have all sorts of places set up to handle it. I'd google your area. It's created a whole satellite business...
Very fortunate strategy with the decline of inboard outboards.
No, you're not in the same class. Yacht crew has to comply. You're not an airline employee and you're trip doesn't involve just leaving a plane...
No exception for you as your contact will be far greater. You'll go from airport to marina to boat. The requirements for the negative tests are...
You need to reexamine the Bahamas. You'll find it has a great solution to rain and sun. Hard top convertible for lack of a better term. Actually...
In full disclosure, ychcptn was one of several here with extensive Westport experience we talked to before our purchase. Also, we chartered...
That's where the type build, the builder, the qualifications of the captains and engineers all come into play. My largest has been 130' and all...
Volvo IPS has carved out a sizable market for themselves. They're a popular solution in the 40-65' range and even higher. Yes, larger outboards...

The last Meridians I found used Cummins engines and were not Zeus. L 550 had CAT. Some 460's had Cummins without Zeus. Also all those with...
But most of the motors in the larger boats were not theirs. That's why it was so easy to part with Hatteras and then the L Series and the larger...
Boats were never and will never be their business. The only reason they bought boat manufacturers was to sell motors.
I can't tell you anything about the 60's considering I wasn't born yet, but something tells me I would have found them hokey even then.
That's the challenge since Marine Max controls so much of it, including buying the dealer I trusted. Much of the repairs being done on L Series...
I'd say some things better and some worse than the Sunseeker. Still, not a bad design as we'd rate the Sunseeker best in that range. Just couldn't...
At least you didn't go in blind. Yours wouldn't be far from my opinion of it as a well designed but very poorly executed boat.
Athens GA or Athens Greece? Is he talking sailing as in a sailboat? Yes, suspect some other business reason behind this thread especially since...
