The flybridge is definately going to add a considerable amount of interior space and is usually the salon underneath it that benefits.
A friend of mine had a later Viking 41' with 8v92's, he ran to the canyons for decades many times a season. It was a good boat for that, I...
I would think in order for a boat to be a sailboat. It's main source of propulsion would have to be from the wind/sail and that it's fastest...
Absolutely not. Is a Grand Banks considered a sail boat because it has a steadying sail? It is not for pushing or propelling the vessel and...
I worked on a steel 30M motoryacht that was similar to the old Benetti's, drew 8.5' of draft, canoe stern, and single rudder. She had Gardener...
They are located in Fort Lauderdale and I buy from them from time to time. They have TONS of interior hardware and nice quality stuff......

Diesels do great in city traffic, keep in mind when a diesel is idling in say a VW, it's using 1/3 of a gallon an hour in fuel, so traffic lights...
I was on a yacht that was imported and built in China 2 years back, they installed the microwave sideways, so you couldn't open the door to use...
Depending on how much glycol, a little bit won't wash the bearings. Or a lot of glycol for a very brief period of time, and I mean very brief....
