After you fill them, let the fuel settle in them and refill. The filter will absorb a little over the course of a minute. I would fill them as...
It looks like the C-18s would be a good match. Smaller on all dimensions then the Detroits and he'd lose approximately 1000lbs between the pair...
If you read my post, it says that if there is room to pass 100 yards away or more, then it isn't necessarily necessary to slow down when passing a...
I would never recommend brandishing a weapon of ANY sort on the water unless you NEED to use it. Someone could shoot at you with a real gun and...

Operating costs should be very very similar. They're both quality boats and built well. The only difference is that the CATS tend to be cheaper...
