"but I usually cruise at 75-80% power in the 61 Viking SC with 1100 common rails" at 80% those engines are not going to last as long as they...
started replying yesterday but lost the wifi at Chub... i said $30 to $40k over a couple of years (that's two round trips).. i think i was...
yep... 12 kts on the typical sub 75 footer makes not sense (unless it's a true disp. hull). i know it may be hard to explain to a stubborn owner...
the owner of the 70 footer understand very well that the cost difference between 20kts offshore and 10kts in the ICW is about $10k and a lot less...

i agree, that's the point i was trying to make. when i plotted both course from moorehead to Charleston the difference is 8NM, it's probably less...
ok, so that cut is pretty well marked, it dont' see how someone can miss it by two miles to hit a 4' shoal. if you nav is off by two miles, you...
not sure what "crack" you guys are talking about. from Moorehead city R10 to Charleston R16, if you go between R2 and G1 at FP, it's 200NM. is...
lots of speculation in this thread but why would anyone try to cut thru Frying Pan coming from Beaufort and heading toward charleston? makes no...
