Don't get me wrong, no disrespect for the profession as such, but you should consider my comment in its context. I was replying to someone who...
Yes and no. Based on the very same Mercedes block that in those days MAN used for their common rail 1224/1360hp, and very much comparable in terms...
No, I don't. But I can't stand chest-thumping for the sake of it, whenever I see it. Interesting that you are now moving on from bashing Azimut...
If you felt insulted, I apologize. I can assure you it wasn't my intention, but I appreciate that my comment - possibly also because written right...
You'd better imagine something else, because they are not. If I should name two radically different companies among the hundreds (literally, I kid...
Don't you still get the difference, after all the explanations I gave about it? Seriously?!? Regardless, frankly my impression is that it's often...
You'd better tell that to the remarkably opinionated Capt J, then. That's what he is insisting to do, not me. My point was about boatbuilders, not...
You are now making me very curious about your reason for asking. Would you possibly be interested to start praising their boats, if I could give...
All very reasonable. Which also means, since the inspection approval is entirely at the buyer's discretion, that if he does like the boat, before...
Out of idle curiosity, how long ago? I'm only asking because I find it strange that at AziBen HQs they don't do something about that. This is not...
In fairness, the agreement that the OP posted specifies... Subject to: Trial Run; Marine Survey; Mechanical Inspection. Buyer's Inspection. And...
You missed the point of my previous comment. You said that you ran a boat "from the factory", while their main production site is 100+ miles...
+1, particularly when comparing a S/skr 95 with a SL96. Chalk and cheese springs to mind.
And where did I say they don't built good boats, exactly? Regardless, since you mention their size range, let me ask you one thing. Both Hatteras...
Now, that's weird. They normally use specialized lorry drivers, to deliver boats from their factory. Was the owner the same guy who bought a...
Yeah, of course Ferretti, Sunseeker etc. are still around as brands, but in my post #38, I used "survive" in a broader sense (without going...
During 17 years of timber boat ownership, been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Back to plastic now, life's too short.
Neither do I - in fact, I already said I never bought any. But, and it's a big but, from a business viewpoint, would you buy the idea that one...
A new forumite whose first post resurrects an 11 years old thread, only to give a wrong advice. That's remarkable to say the least... :rolleyes:...
As a premise, I have nothing to see with Azimut, and the fact that Vitelli is a compatriot of mine is where my relationship with him ends....
