Lighting is the one thing on the water that scares me... causes way too much damage. If that boat stayed afloat, lucky owner! On a modern large...
No they need to turn rated RPM when flat out.
Can’t read the boost, flow, temp and load :(
If the bottom and running gear was dirty the boat wouldn’t have turned rated RPM.
I was making fun of “journalists”, somehow whenever you read an article about a boating incident, even a little 30’ express becomes a Luxury...

I I hope you the other shaft magnaflux. Same thing happened two me a year ago (retrieved the prop in 22’ of water on Exuma Bank) and when we...
Right after I posted the above, I saw a Galeon 650 pass by while docked at BIM Big Game. Sure enough... no way to board on the sides due to the...
