Until it comes time for the insurance company to pay for damage or a loss, which they won't if you read 95% of the policies for yachts over 40' or so.
Yeah except you're not chancing someone's multi-million dollar asset, nor risking other people's life, limbs, or property. Suppose you get a 75...
It's called being experienced and wise. I've seen so many simple things go wrong over the years and with all of the yachts I've run, that I would...
If they returned them with a bunch of bent over cooling fins, do you really think they inspected and pressure tested them? LOL I'd definately...
The MANS are a noticable bit quieter, although vibrate more at trolling speed as they cut out a cylinder bank and stinkier a little bit....
I would say about 70' would be the maximum for an experienced couple. I managed a 63' Ocean for an owner/operator couple. BUT they spent over a...
I agree also. Cat had major issues with the aftercoolers leaking into the engines on the 3126 series and changed to a different design. Make...
Yes, the one I ran I think cruised at 27knots. I know it didn't top out at 36knots though.......lower 30's. It did suffer from the gelcoat...
I've never heard of water being sucked back in. BUT, shutting off the raw water intake and cranking the generator for more then a few seconds...
You could single handle a 55' by yourself. But you'd be totally insane to run any boat without a second person on board. Anything can and will...
The 50' Post is wider then the 46. I think the bow is lower as well. I ran a 2001 50' Post SF with 900 mans. It cruised at 25 knots if I...
Yes, the 44' sat across the canal from my mom's house in Lauderdale By the Sea for years. It was redone, an express without any tower or hardtop....
I have seen and heard them performing exercises in that area several times over the years.
The fuel water seperator is also a filter. Change that. Also, generators always pull fuel from a higher level in the fuel tank and are the first...
Pantropic is the Caterpiller dealer located in Fort Lauderdale, FL their phone number is 954-797-7972. Have you tried contacting them directly?
Chevron bought out Texaco, The Ursa Super Plus which I used exclusively in DD's is now branded Chevron extra heavy duty or super heavy duty...
I like the Chevron (formerly texaco) extra heavy duty 40w........ They're good engines overall, but smoky on startup and stinky at trolling...
The sweet spot I've seen is usually around 1950 rpms on these. Yes it can be run lower speed and cuts out 1 side of the motor when the turbo's...
1. A lot of Hatteras' will have blisters under the waterline. Are they a big deal IMO, usually not. When they get to a certain size you just...
303 would probably do a good job. BUT so far I'm very happy with the IMAR products for it, and they are endorsed by Stamoid (Ferrari textile) and...
