Also re-painting a hull is relatively cheap, compared to doing the superstructure. I would say 30-40% of the cost of doing the superstructure.
The Searay is a better sea boat, slightly better quality, and much easier to get parts for it. On the 50' Prestige they put all of the electrical...
Sportfish hulls are generally much stronger than motoryachts. The bottom line, the tears are clean, there's very little shredded matting. Bottom...
Should and is, are two entirely different things. I cannot tell you how many suspect electrical connections I've seen on gas inboard boats over...
Bilge pump is another likely culprit. Someone has to hear the gas fumes detector's alarm in order to do anything about the leak. If it's a boat...
I don't think this data exists. Also, if a gas boat explodes from a fuel issue, well, there usually isn't enough remains to pinpoint exactly...
Judging by my experience running a lot of SF, given your 34 knot WOT, your 26 knot cruise is low and should be a bit closer in speed to...
Depends on the paint entirely so ask. Awlgrip and Awlcraft you do NOT wax. They have an awlcare product you can wipe on and wipe off once or...
So you gained quite a bit of speed with the same or less fuel burn. Both a win win and attributed to the lighter weight of the engines and newer...
What was your initial cruise speed and WOT speed with the Detroits? I know it's in this thread, but the thread is quite long to search for it at...
This, the last thing you need after a hurricane is trying to get ahold of your agent who is too busy dealing with damaged houses, cars, and who...
They work there. Hatteras on the 60' MY used to use one in the forward engine room. They switched to 2 of them in the lazzarette on opposite...
In auto mode, the AP26 uses the Simrad autopilot compass for heading and that is it. Should not be getting any heading information from the...
It's possible that John knoche is a friend of the owners and has traveled on the boat many times. I've commented on boats I worked on or have...
I agree they didn't tie in the back of the pulpit well enough. It seems everything broke free just forward of the bulkhead, I'm guessing not...
Take the boat out and put the autopilot in setup mode, swing/calibrate the compass on the autopilot, then do the seatrial for the autopilot. See...
Post some pictures of your travels on her......
It wouldn't have pulled if the deck was strong enough to begin with either. I've stuffed the bow on a few sportfish before and never had the...
In addition to Capt Ralph, the other thing to check if that doesn't work is sintered bronze filter in the bottom of the can. Yes you can still...
A lot of yachts are now putting 2 instead of one, because the smaller units are easier to find a home for in the boat and mounted on outbound...
