Do you really think so? Ever heard the French expression "c'est le ton qui fait la musique"?
Why, is there any comparable US built boat that you would have recommended to the OP as an alternative? Possibly one where all the above bits...
Good suggestions from Pascal, right on the money vs. the original OP question. Personally, I'd rather want electrical diagrams regardless of where...
I was wondering the same, because BTW both Nordhavns and Flemings are also built in Taiwan - when not in mainland China, as it happens for many...
It appears that as I'm writing there are no less than nine tugs on the scene, the largest being a 67m AHTS. Plus a couple of German CG 80m...
Bingo. That's what would concern me the most, in general. Even more than the oil analysis and all other particular defects, none of which are...
Let's say you do, and you get those 2 knots max back. That's what, 1 knot at cruising speed? Probably less. I wouldn't lose any sleep over that,...
I'm aware of fins creating some problems like "fishtailing" on a straight course, to the point of needing to relocate them, but I never heard of...
I believe the version Dockmaster suggested to steer clear of is the 435hp. If properly maintained, the 375 are solid enough, instead. Out of...
Yup, plenty of them, also among the European ones, but mostly in the period between the late 90s and the mid noughties. In fact, it wasn't...
I would have thought that this well known "milking" problem, as it was called, had already been sorted by then. How long did it take for it to...
In which year was your boat built, if you don't mind me asking?
Not to my knowledge, but even if there were any, it's not something I would want to have in my boat. Exhaust systems are critical in any boat, and...
Yes, it is very close, and I didn't say it isn't. But what the rule defines is the maximum hull speed, and my point was that the most efficient...
I would add a couple of things to what Pascal correctly pointed out. First, as I recall the Marquis 59 has an overhanging swim platform, which...
@Capt J: yeah, that's what I was referring to, nothing else. :)
Fully agreed. In the OP boots, based on his numbers, I would either cruise under 1100 or anywhere between 1800 and 2000.
Below is my 2c, related to a boat which is slightly smaller than yours (56'), and powered by 800hp MAN engines. The problem with old school...
Please do, it will be very interesting to see them. Out of idle curiosity, I did a bit of math using your numbers, and it appears that each of...
Now, that's a Freudian slip, if I've ever seen one! :D
