Any opinions on the tiara 4800 convertible? I’ve found very few non “pay for play” reviews out there. Seems like there weren’t a lot made. I loved...
This is good feedback but troubling. Just to confirm, you are talking about the latest gen ocean 46 (2005- ) not the previous generation? It...
All good info. Re: props, I too was skeptical of that much improvement, but this was from canaveral propeller and I’ve heard nothing bad about...
Great question and interesting way of thinking about it. I suppose there are trips/days/weekends that would be marginal in a smaller boat but...
Yes, certainly. But I’m actually more worried about the ride than the space. We had a 38 Bertram before that was a great headsea and following sea...
thanks for the offer, but I think if I make the change I’ll be looking for something a little smaller. I’d probably remove the tower and deal with...
Yes tower coming off would help but with the EB, sightlines aren’t great when docking unless up in the tower. I could probably get used to it...
Figured I’d catch some attention with that thread title (one if these is not like the others…) Seeking some opinions…Let me explain. We bought...
Verified - the problem was the missing trim tab all along. With both tabs installed again, the boat runs beautifully, autopilot holds course as it...
I’m 99% sure it was the missing trim tab on the stbd side creating an instability in lift at the back of the boat while on plane. Took 6 mo to get...
Cpt maritime did you ever figure this out? Been eyeing a Cabo 40 for the skinny waters in Fl where I live now but I’ve gotten quite used to a W/D...
My Viking 58c has hynautic steering with multiple helms, reservoir is mounted on the port side of the engine room, just outboard of the back of...
Looking into getting a MOB system for our 58' viking sportfish. From the research I've done it seems the ACR OLAS system with the base station and...
Interesting and sounds super easy. Problem is I don’t have a cleat that would allow for a reasonably straight run down the pulpit and through the...
Wanted to circle back to the bridle discussion. The mantis bridle, at ~$500 for a 50+ boat, seems absurdly over priced. I was thinking just a...
I generally use the tabs to move the bow down slightly, netting me about 1-1.5 kts at cruise. I generally don't deploy them until i'm up on plane....
The remaining operational tab was fully stowed (I thought of this too and checked after the first instance) No active stabilization, exhaust is...
steering fluid level hasn't changed in a couple dozen hours of running i thought about maybe a synchronizer issue, because i did have the sync...
I just had my stbd trim tab removed - it broke at the hinge and i wanted to be able to use the boat while i'm waiting ~90 days for a new one. On...
Anyone know how tolerant they are of enabling/disabling service during periods of not using it? I'm not using mine right now - wifi at marina is...
