Aha, I haven´t seen them on crewed yachts. Just alarm systems... ;)
If you have a chilled water system with seawater intakes, just make sure you don´t leave the boat unattended. If a hose bursts you may sink the...
Jasra, you were saying that Thrustmaster is the best drive system and asked for other trawler manufacturers, didn´t you? Eric gave you one. I said...
Well, you wrote the headline of this thread? Maybe you would be interested to read this as well:...
As I said, there are some nice designs out there. Mine was not meant to be just one of them, but a little more modern. It has been a few various...
We are never surprised, but this thread was a great opportunity for me and Eric to show our trawlers...;)

A good charter yacht use to have 10 to 12 weeks per season, meaning 20-24 weeks per year if it is moving between the hot spots...
Hi Dino, as far as I know the M147 was designed by Atabeyki five years ago and marketed as a project by B+V. We´ll see if somebody now have the...
I found this X-ray of the 130' where you can see the section connecting the hulls. There is a wave-crusher in the middle, indicating this is not a...
Hi, yes you are right. Putting an eye in the sky on a cat makes sense! The TRY range was in several sizes, where the 100' was with a raised...
Loren, sometimes when you can see the fibreglass pattern from certain angles on the gelcoat, it means the boat is built with a core and vacuum...
