Check the fuel filter/water seperator. That will cause idling problems after it gets full, the water will then makes it way to the carberator...
I always really liked the looks of the 22' Velocity as a kid growing up in Fort Lauderdale. But I don't need a chine walking carnival ride of a...
Has anyone owned or ridden in an older 22' Velocity speedboat? If so, how did they run and ride? How fast can you expect one to go with a 300hp...
The Florida Detroit Diesel Rep here told me not to use Rotella as he's seen engines with excessive piston ring wear on yachts that have used it....
It also saves you 2 hours each day at the fuel dock, filling up the 1,000+ gallons you burned each day, and you only have to fuel every 5th day....
Hatteras for years has left part of the foward hatch un-painted fiberglass on their older yachts, and it still lets in a ton of light......without...
Tell me about it. hehehee..... I did the great loop (5300NM) on a 75' Hatteras MY and burned less then 7500 gallons for the whole trip. Not to...
I agree with everyone else. Maintaining a boat of this size is probably going to cost a lot more then you think it's going to be. I think the...
On the cancun trip, you have to go slow because you can't carry enough fuel to run at cruise the entire trip, nor do you have enough daylight. So...
Can you use fiberglass sheet (like Hatteras used on the motoryacht aft decks and such) and cut it to fit and paint it?
Because if you are buying the boat and have to take it long distances to get it to where you live, it's a huge factor. For example from Key West...
I've never run one with c12's, however I've run C12's in other boats and they're torquey and run well. I've run a 45 with 660hp 3196 cats, 800...
8v92's should burn 9-10 gph for both at 1000rpm's. At 800 rpm's your looking at 7gph probably.
Yes, except the biggest variable of them all is the weather. Wind, rain, seas, current and more and it changes every 10 miles and every hour....
You should be able to truck a 42' if need be, with removal of a few things bridge etc...... There's a 46' I think on here that has a lot of...
I'd say you're close. What about exterior maintanence- washing, polishing SS, waxing etc....... that's 5-10k per year..... Figure bottom...
I cannot tell you if it would be worthwhile. If you can secure one job and it pays for the price of the machine, then go for it. I have no idea...
Running solo is adding a ton of risk that could easily be mitigated. There is no argument there. Had the guy in the 30' sailboat had a friend on...
The 50' has engine room access from the cockpit. I am not sure about floor hatches on the 46' in the salon, but floor hatches in the salon will...
I've seen large jobs being quoted by time.....$150-300 per hour per diver......I don't think you'd need much in the way of stuff to do a...
