Jeff definitely used to be owner AND president, at least till a few years ago. But as I said, I might have missed some changes. Been a while since...
Do you mean Jeff, or did I miss some changes in their organization?
As if Hampton ain't just another Taiwanese tub...?!
It seems to me that JWY is well aware of all legal obligations, and just pointed out other (i.e. ethical and moral) considerations. Which you are...
What sort of seals? Depending on that, $15k all in doesn't actually sound too bad.
Yup, I appreciate that. I was only asking with reference to the need to remove the cockpit and a tank to access rudders, which sounds weird to say...
Intriguing question. You are talking of a yard based in Wisconsin, ran by American engineers and workers, which pretty sure fits as much US...
Building a holding tank in aluminum ain't one of the best boatbuilding designs either, to start with...
Apologies if I missed that in some previous post, but what's the boat brand which is being discussed? Unless that tank was retrofitted, maybe? I...
Yeah, it's always hard to tell what goes on in other people's minds - and even more so when talking of brilliant minds. I never met them, but I...
Yep, I was aware of the first owner decision. Also when I saw her, the boat still had no fins. In fact, I don't think any relevant modifications...

Amen to that. There are enough maintenance headaches on boats, without adding a major one like a SK... :eek:
I only just came across this thread. Very interesting in some bits - and also entertaining, in the (not unusual) drivel parts. Having inspected...
The exact model (TE92/657hp or TE93/756hp) might make some difference. I agree with your suggestion of avoiding dead idle with the latter, but for...
Same block as the V8-800, but very different altogether, because the 900hp was the first common rail and fully electronic version. That said, if...
A fuel burn chart as we all think a fuel burn chart should be, as far as I know, does not exist for those engines. The one that PacBlue posted was...
Wow, SNO of the Pirro bros fame? And for 2 decades? I'm lost for words. The next time someone will criticize Marinemax as a dealer, I'll have a...
Your statement left me wondering where exactly they shipped those boats, 'cause I'm not aware of ANY Italian Hatteras dealer. So, I just checked...
Thanks for the detailed explanation on the yellow little valve. I finished installing the new covers & gauges yesterday (yes, perfectly up-rite)....
