The 72' MY has a nice layout and without the split engine room, you have a roomy engine room and no bilge smell in the boat. I have run a lot of...
The Pronautic charger only puts out 60 amps if you bridge the 3 leads together. Could you run the isolator between starting battery bank and...
There is proof...... Everyone knows about it that is in the industry. The first Certifiable was oil canning.....the stringers were breaking free...
Does this mean they are going to pull out of Yachts entirely? It sounds like they plan on doing both.....which would be good to keep all of the...
Well for those that are not informed. The 70' Bertram "Certifiable" was the owner's warranty replacement for his 63' Bertram "Certifiable" where...
It's the first I've heard of it. Where is the 70' Certifiable docked right now?
I grew up and became responsible a long time ago. I found out it's a lot cheaper to get paid to run everyone else's boats around and playing with...
That is completely untrue. If it is a true displacement hull, you give up very little range to weight. I cut my teeth on a custom 97' motoryacht...
I do occasional charters on a 75' Hatteras (was a 65' MY) as Captain for the charters. I am not his full time Captain. Unfortunately we only...
I agree with this completely. And what to add, it's either 1000rpm's or less, or cruise rpm......The in-betweens are never efficient.
That's because the crew stateroom is one of the guest staterooms or of the same quality. The crew stateroom is actually nicer then 1 or 2 of the...
I've run 1 set of 10v2000's in a 64' Hatteras MY on a 9 day delivery north on the ICW. They ran good and didn't use a drop of oil when it came to...
Yes, both the 70' + 75' hatteras' that I run are also run by their owner/families without any crew on-board. I usually deliver them or...
No, not a problem with the proper tow eye on the center console and proper tow harness. Keep in mind you will need an additional person to unhook...
I have overseen some rebuilds on diesels where they needed to be bored (cylinders). Most have not needed to be bored. Some Detroits and such...
Well, anything is possible. I ran a 38' Bertram with 555s that had 8000 hours without a rebuild or anything and they passed survey and ran fine,...
I run a 75' Hatt at 1,000 rpms 90% of the time....(since fuel prices went way up a few years back)..I burn 1.5 GPM (or less) at 10 knots, at 17...
Find a good survey with an infrared camera it will show any water issues in the coring. I manage a 2001 wellcraft coastal 37', the boat has low...
In a smaller boat, I know of a lobster boat around 40' that has a cummins triple nickel and last I heard was at 31,000 hours with nothing done to...
I will run Detroits at 1,000 rpms and then every 4-6 hours bring the boat up to 2,000 rpm's for 30 minutes to clean them out. According to several...
