Well, that's a rather classic open design. I guess you could say she's also similar to some Italcraft and Sarnico (the earlier ones, before they...
Glad to have helped. She looks in great shape for her age - fenders aside, hoping you don't mind me pointing that out... :) Early 90s, I suppose?...
'Course my 56' is slower, with the same power pushing twice the weight! She does 29 kts at 2100rpm, but even at that speed, she still doesn't burn...
Hi there, and welcome to YF. I'm afraid you will struggle to find any details on Palanca, because even among Italians (as myself), it's not a well...
Why, do you think it's normal that a 40 footer, weighing about half of a 56' with a similar powerplant, has a comparable fuel burn?!? :confused:...
I wouldn't fancy running those engines all day at 2100, but I guess that's a choice driven by the usual builder+magazine wish to report the...
THIS THREAD WAS SPLIT FROM ANOTHER DISCUSSION 2 different boats can perform TOTALLY differently even same size/type/displacement due to hull...
Do they use two completely different moulds for those Cabos? That's the point with pods, a hull can be either optimized for them or for shafts,...
Does it say this? If so, It seems to me that they don't put their money where their mouth is. Aside from being personally aware of builders who...
Not sure of what other posts you are referring to as "bad" towards Arnesons, but FWIW my previous somewhat negative comments were referred to much...
More details are available in their website, of which there's also the EN version. And according to which, Maritime Diesel Electric in Tamarac is...
I'm not sure if/how easily you can find them in the US, but these folks build some bulletproof diaphragm pump for nautical applications. Short of...
Why, haven't you ever seen a diaphragm pump capable of 2000 gph? When I suggested to replace the Rule with one of those, I meant one of that type,...
Precisely what I meant. The only real reason for not using one of those macerator pumps also for the bilge is that the Rule thing is cheaper. So,...
Whenever you find sea water in the bilge, do you also find some in the fish box? With that arrangement, if sea water runs back into the bilge but...
All well and good, but that's something different from having an u/w discharge - as often happens for the genset for instance, for noise reasons...
A discharge under the w/line for a bilge pump is a silly installation, which I wouldn't expect from any respectable builder. Did you ever see that...
Like DM (aside from having less cameras!), I also have chaps in the marina and in the village where the boat is berthed, who can come onboard. So...
Positively +1 on that!
CM mentioned salt water, so at least those two can be ruled out... As well as beer! :) Anyhow, I think his idea of keeping an eye on the boat...
