Or not so smart. I routinely see 38'-42' center consoles with 4-300hp outboards or 4-350hp outboards......so now they'll just put 4-400hp...
12v71TI boat will burn 12 gph at 1000 rpms, slow troll 5-6gph (both), at cruise speed 80GPH. 8v92TA boat will burn about 10gph at 1000rpms (fast...
Wow 400HP Mercury verado's. Looks like they're really stepping up the outboard HP game. They haven't even had a 350HP.
Camp may very well have different levels of zincs at different prices. But if you look at the standard variety you pick up at West Marine or...
Apology accepted. No problem, I think everyone on here is a little bit too passionate from time to time, or we wouldn't love boats because they...
They are all zinc and not half filled with concrete or small pebbles like the camps. They also have a copper nub cast into the zinc so it makes...
I'd go bigger as you might upgrade to a heavier tender. The 2001 50' Post I ran also had the davit mounted on the port side like in the picture....
Zimar makes much better zincs than Camp. They're located in Davie and will sell to you.
I can tell you this much, a small wake from the stern hits their swim platform and sends spray shooting up onto the entire aft deck, makes the...
I have done several deliveries from South Florida to as far as Corpus Cristi, TX on the Gulf coast. I don't understand why you'd need a tug. It...
Cat C18 acerts are 1150hp, they burn 85 gph at 80% load. I would say your Detroits on their best day are putting out 1000hp and probably even...
Usually most all generators are 50/60 cycles and the only difference is changing the RPM from 1500RPMS (50 cycle) to 1800 rpms (60 cycle). Check...
Just get a seatow membership, or arrange a tow......it's not that expensive if you pre-arrange it ahead of time....towing a 33' in and out of...
Well speed isn't anything, fuel efficiency is becoming more and more important. You also have to consider how much fuel you hold and how that...
If that's what you want to do. If you're happy with the speed you have, I'd consider C18 Cat's the lighter weight and true HP, you'll still...
On Gas motors. Even if they're fresh water cooled. Mercruiser manifolds and risers are still raw water cooled. Cruisaders have freshwater cooled...
No, the exhaust manifolds/risers are the most likely culprit. They leak into the exhaust port and then leak right into the cylinder from any of...
I have not seen the Sea Isle show this year, but did notice that there are even some used boats (pre-owned, not dealer demo's) at Collins, which...
If the seachest doesn't have a/c intake, the water in the seachest gets stale and has no oxygen so very little stuff grows inside the seachest if...
Seachests are good, but you want a seperate seacock/thru-hull for the a/c intake. If you have constant water flow through a sea chest from the...
