Captains on that size yacht rarely run it, or let me rephrase that......run it less than 1/2 of the time.........the 1st officer runs the boat a...
Just out or curiosity, how are you air and fuel filters? Are they all clean? The rpm's make sense but the 96% load doesn't make...
I highly doubt that FLIBS is going to even happen this year. Very doubtful.
WEIGHT. The additional weight of the flybridge, all of the additional seating and everything else on the MY's makes them come in heavier than a...
Try Marine Connection liquidators in Ft. Pierce, FL. Glass tek in Miami might be another source for one.
He better inspect ALL of his bulkheads and their tabbing.
Yes, water ingress is one reason. But the real reason is it makes the house much stronger for the flybridge and with the windows it would shift...
In a lot of cases, the registered owner of these boats, isn't even the LAST owner. You have a sailboat that's old and etc., you sell it to...

Pacblue- yes, just like the luxury tax did to the yachting industry. Or ethanol did to millions of boat/yacht owners in the first 5 years when it...
No fuel docks are going to be stocking DEF fluid for a very long time. The demand just isn't there. SO for a SF going to the far Bahamas to fish...

OK, so you and pacblue, HOW DO YOU PLAN ON REFILLING THE DEF TANK????????? Have either you or Pacblue thought of that on a sub 150' yacht that...
What setup do you have now? T the fuel supply line with a shut off on the inlet and outlet of each racor would be the easiest. Or, exchange what...
Many of the larger yachts and yachts in your size range will run 1000 rpms for extended periods of time for 6+ hours and then run at cruise for 30...
