Apparently costs vary greatly. I was told that MTU charges thousands of dollars and it takes a while. as mentioned, I had never heard of this...
I was told by a reputable broker that affective 2022, vessels clearing US customs would be required to provide their EIAPP certificate numbers....
I think it was a typo from J. As I mentioned earlier the mach5 is pretty much standard on most larger boats.
I have redone all the plumbing on my 1970 Hatteras 53 using new copper and SharkByte fittings. The original copper was still good but since...
Having the option to run faster is important. When I repowered by old 53 hatt, I considered using smaller engines but ended up choosing the...
Any planning boat will get its best economy at hull speed. Typically a 60 footer will burn about 12gph at 10kts... a 70footer about 18gph and an...
If operating as an un inspected vessel (up to 6 pax under 100GT, up to 12 pax over 100GT) there are very few additions safety gear requirement...
You need to measure the size of the platform which will always be less than the beam of the boat. Remember beam is measured at the widest point...
Well it s accurate. The wind blows and diesel exhaust stinks :)
Even on the water (real or virtual) we have to watch our mouths these days or else the PC woke Police will strike.... sad. I am a blow boat owner...
This has been going on for years....
I have two Flagship 36k btu chillers on my 53 here in Miami from October to April, I run only on one chiller. In the summer, I do need to have...
I doubt Hatteras ever installed SCUs except maybe in the early smallest boats, under 40’. Someone must have cheap’d out and installed them. Even...
Indeed I m not a big fan of Ohnos. The 27.5s on the 84 worked fine and never let me down once I had a full set of spare sensors on board. :). The...
And if you have to enlarge holes you may as well do chillers.
Yeah on charter it will be 4 of us. I enjoy being both captain and chef though, especially with a much bigger galley :)
I wouldn’t go with self contained on a 78 footer. I know it is the cheapest solution but as quiet as they have become you still will hear the...
Depends. It was just the two of us on the 84 plus a stew when needed (usually if more than 4 or 6 people on the boat). Insurance mandates 2...
I don’t like general brand comparisons but I think Hatteras would be the first one that comes to mind especially if looking for a skylounge. Burns...
i really do. I ran the 84 skylounge for 5 years and it is a great boat. Tops at 31 kts can cruise up to 26. Only 76 GPH at 20 kts. Very well...
