I've found that the Tri-LUX tends to work really good on running gear if it's cleaned and primed right and the yacht cruises at below 20 knots....
By running, I meant on plane. On Plane in shallow water you tend to gain a little speed. It is true with displacement speed that you will lose a...
Yes, but with the shallow water you get some lift running so you don't notice it.....if you really look at the waterline, it's easy to tell, but...
I'll usually see a yacht sit about an 1" lower on the water line than in salt water. I have noticed most 20+ knot yachts will lose about a knot...
If you don't get it to it's winter home pretty soon, you will leaving it right where it sits....
Forget about the steering, in a 4 knot head current you hardly make way!!!
Most boats have the set they leave on the dock, and they also have a travelling set. And, if you go on a long trip you bring both sets.....
Different props for fresh or salt, not usually. However, the boat will sit lower in fresh water and also not be quite as fast. So if you're...
Generally a professional will always put the loops on the dock and keep the bitter end on the boat so you always maintain control of the lines...
Take a look at the Lagoon 43/44' Powercats (same boat, different exterior layout.) You want the larger engines. But they do 10 knots at 3 mpg,...
No the actual body of the Tide seal that rides on the shaft. There is a 2+" section of the body that rides on the shaft itself that keeps the...
The hard Eurethane rubber (or whatever material it is) inside of the actual Tide Seal that rides on the shaft. It swells onto the shaft and then...
I might go to the show with an owner I already work for who is considering buying another boat. I just go to look around, but honestly I see 99%...
Lololol.....I see kids here that are younger than 17. Running 34' seavee's and big midnight expresses around.....LOLOL.....a $98k ski boat, thats...
Imagine having to manipulate the shifters and the throttles on those 5 outboard 37' midnight expresses they used to build in the 1980's....
You could mount the engines/pods under the cockpit and move the fuel tank foward if you have the height for the engine. The other issue is that...
I agree. My first boat was a 12' fibrglass v sears gamefisher my dad bought for a $100 with a 1956 6hp Evinrude given to me by my dad's uncle...
I agree with NYCAP. The sea is a VERY powerful machine and would do that to most any fiberglass boat. Steel would probably fair much better in...
But why does it make sense to gut a successful company that has a very strong following of customers and close said company, just to use the...
No, just from sitting and lack of use they will swell. One boat was one that hadn't moved in 2 months. I started the motors and let them warm...
