I too have seen this many times. When you do a valve job on an older or somewhat tired/used gas engine, it will start burning oil because the...
I would be certifiable too, if that happened to my sportfish. hehehe Where is the boat located now? On another note with the Feretti...
The boats I have seen that were cored, were sometimes faster. BUT, you could not run them as fast in any type of sea as a solid fiberglass boat....
Hatteras actually gelcoats their boats in the mold, their molds have so many imperfections that they actually have to sand and paint them and use...

I can see exactly how that boat can lay on one side of the keel in a turn and the keel looks a bit wide , there isn't enough flat area in the...
