It appears the newer 72' OA is a little better than the older 68' in terms of cruise speed of 18 knots and same fuel burn of 85gph. It only has 3...
Considering I wasn't even born 40 or 50 years ago (close) that would be a tough one. Mr. nutsforboats, I run more yachts in a year (different...
That's a REAL tough one as there are lots of charter boats out of Oregon inlet. The decision to go or not go is a tough one that many will take...
I haven't found any issues at all with any of the Hatteras hinges, glides, latches, knobs, etc etc etc. Are you an Ocean Alexander dealer by...
Arora polish? Awlgrip is not supposed to be waxed at all.
I wouldn't fire a mechanic and have him finish the job,ever. You are only asking for trouble. At this point I wouldn't trust a single thing he's...
The Hatteras build quality is better. The Hatteras performs better and has a good cruise speed. The OA's never really get on plane and burn a...
Ummmmm you'd also have to change toilet pumps, freshwater pump, bilge blowers, and a myriad of other 32 volt items on that boat to switch it to 24...
Ok, the Charles 9000 is for lead acid batteries only. Also they only come in a 30 or 40 amp version depending on the model you have. 10-13.3...
I think something along the lines of a 40' Cabo would be an excellent choice.
Sort of. For example if you grab a live 220 volt wire, the voltage will make your muscles release and hopefully it will fall out of your hand....
Ryan- to get back on topic, what is your annual budget and your budget for the purcahse price? Your wants and needs? And, length of time of your...
The ones in the engine room are analog and the helm ones are based off of the computer. It is common for analogs to not be 100% accurate and that...
What's your price range? For what you'd want to do I think 45' is a nice size. Cabo's and Vikings are what I'd be looking at. Searays are a great...
110v is still deadly, but 1/2 as deadly as 220volts. :D Your chances of living through getting electrocuted from 110volts are quite a bit higher...
The Hatteras 70' MY should run well in a head sea. Most of the Hatteras hulls shine in a head sea. I've heard the same sentiments with the 70'...
Yes, I've run a 75' Hatteras in and out of Hawk's Cay in the West Basin. The spot in front of the dolphin pens is 5' and hard bottom. If you go...
Yeah, you're burn rate is about right for that speed. 12-15 gph at 8 knots....might even be a little low. I'd say at 10 knots you're probably...
It looks like these drives are mainly designed for the yacht express market under 42'. Boats like mentioned above such as regals, searays, etc....
We have chairs from Bluewater chairs and have a satin Eurethane finish, I think they use Watco......but they are nice and have held up perfectly...
