Not even that, actually, 'cause that old "Center-Off-On" stuff had no interfaces at all. The system is totally unaware of the boat speed, gear...
Interesting to hear that, because it fully matches my findings while I was looking for a used boat in that size/type bracket. 180 l/h at 24 knots...
Aha, I see. You know, interestingly that's another thing I never liked of Baia: they always seemed willing to fit any kind of engine their clients...
Unless it's the 660hp that is wrong, you must mean 3196 rather than 3116, surely? If so, you are making me curious: why should that boat be very...
It does matter, but at least in this respect you have no reason to worry. That's a pretty good size for a 76 footer, particularly since they...
I agree that blaming heeling on prop rotation is a joke, and not something I'd expect to hear from any half decent surveyor. But nope, old Naiad...
Those fins look like non-zero speed Naiad. If they are (can't be 100% sure from those pics alone), when the pump is turned off the hydraulic...
Yes, but never a P52. That's not the point, anyway. The occasion I previously mentioned was pretty unique, and I'm positive that neither the...
My point exactly, thumbs-up to all that!
Just to add a comment on waterjets (which, just to reiterate, were NOT the subject of my previous posts). For jets, yet again, size matters. The...
I don't know how familiar you are with the Kvarner Gulf in Croatia. It's a small stretch of sea notorious for NE wind blowing out of nowhere, and...
Fair enough, but why are you saying that in a reply to a post where I said that I'd rather have shafts?
I didn't quote any specific wave height because there's much more than that to consider. Wave form, frequency, direction - and of course boat type...
Sound principle, but don't hold your breath. Several posters here never miss an occasion to subtly (or also not so subtly) dismiss some builders,...
The efficiency advantage is practically negligible, on a 25kts boat. It's well above that sort of speed, that surface drives come into their own...
Ok, that's consistent with the size/power. Not so much with the choice of surface drives, though. That sort of performance is well within the...
Maneuvering aside, how did that boat perform? 2200 hp and ASD 12 doesn't sound impressive for a 68 footer. The previously mentioned Pershing 65...
Beware, what your mechanic is saying clashes with the explanation given by v10builder1. Now, I can't be positive about which of these alternatives...
Aside from agreeing wholeheartedly with all previous suggestions to NOT do that for several good reasons, I'm also wondering if that wouldn't...
Agreed, considering the very short distance.
