He didn't ask about removing them. He asked how much it would cost to rebuild them. We don't remove engines over here in the States to rebuild...
You should be able to rebuild them in the yacht if need be.
The parts are relatively cheap, it's the labor that's expensive. The detroit diesel dealers here charge around $112-116 an hour per mechanic from...
It depends on many factors and access is one of them. But figure around $35k including rebuilding turbo's, injectors, cleaning all of the heat...
The problem is the Sportfish market from 45'-75' is extremely soft. All of the builders are selling a lot of 80' +, that's pretty much what all...
There's no issue with getting the boat bottom painted in the Bahamas. However, if you find out you need more serious work, I'd rather have the...
I find it to be the least effective bottom paint here in South Florida. Boats I've had that had it were growing algae on the waterline the first...

Professional crew almost always throw the loop to the dock. That way you always maintain control on the boat, not with a stranger who may or may...
Brielle they also keep boats in the water year round. There is a lot of current there and they don't seem to have icing up issues. I don't know...
I used Sea-slide on one boat that had hard paint, the boat did pick up 2 knots and seemed to maintain the speed for 14 months. I don't think I'd...
Tape the straglass with 1" tape where it borders the sunbrella. Get some plastic tarps at Home Depot or Lowe's and tape them to cover the...
