agreed.
I tend to disagree. Cabo put over 400 hours on their Zues boat testing it and quite honestly beating the hell out of it and there were no...
The hull and everything from the rubrail down, is the Cabo 44. Hatteras changed the superstructure and interior only. Nothing has been changed...
They share a lot of similarities in build and looks, mainly because they're from the same region. Just like most Carolina built SF share a lot in...
You're not fixing a 90psi air hose leak with tape. Best way to temporarily fix it is to cut the hose, put a union and hose clamps on it. Can't...
No, most builders are just not good at going from small to very large in size overnight, and usually it does them in.......I can think of quite a...
And, this is where all builders screw up........length greed.
It's never too late for dinner......not everyone on the forum is sitting in Fort Lauderdale ya know.......
Was this particular boat you're talking about origionally named "Off Pump" and was a 53' with 10 cylinder Man's stuffed into it, 1990's vintage?...
Cut off the skin, dig out the coring, re-core it and re-glass it and then paint or gelcoat the floor is the proper way to fix it. Some people try...
Perhaps Riva will be sharing their production facility once again???
I too tend to agree with this and maintained one since I was 18 until 2009. Yeah they were built light but we never even had gelcoat cracking...
You call a few years a long time??? Is the 50' and 54' Hatteras and the 52' Cabo FB the same size class? The Hatteras 45 EX IS the Cabo 44'....
Yes it was designed in the mold, my dad who was involved in the early APBA race boat days knew guys who would glass the hooks out of the little...
Let me try to figure out how to describe it. I was always told that a hook in the bottom was where the very bottom edge of the hull, along...
Funny thing is they can't figure out what direction they want to go in. They made the 80' molds over in Italy and shipped them over on a...
That would've been Southern Cross and over a decade ago, don't think they're still in business. They did buy some of the old molds and were...
Yeah, it's exactly the same as the new Classic 16', except the seating/helm are on opposite sides.
white knuckled thrills for sure.....actually they started acting up around 60mph and not 70mph........the most fun with it was taking a friend out...
You have that backwards. It was the former Cabo44 that was downgraded to a Hatteras 45ex. Cabo uses a better hull design and hull designer than...
