:confused: :confused: :confused: Do you mean Contra Rotating props, as in two props on the same axis spinning in opposite directions?
I recommend the manufacturers' operating and maintenance manuals for the equipment you have on board as everything has its quirks.
Yep, that's why we should make sure we are either in insured or otherwise contractually indemnified. How you represented yourself to a dead man,...
Considering even small boats are easily a half a million dollars new these days, wearing a belt and suspenders to keep your a$$ covered on the...
Your common sense on this is solid. You have a twin engine boat. Say you are cruising along in the ICW with a 25-35kt cross wind. If you lose the...
No offense, but under what evidence and terms do you consider the boat "solid"? I'll refer you to this written by a very respected surveyor:...
As I said, that is correct, he doesn't have any say in whether the vessel is insured other than to advise the owner if it isn't. It is the owners...
It does make sense. Banks and insurance companies typically don't require surveys on new boats, and they are under warranty so a typically less...
I'm not sure if they're what he is referring to, but a couple of years ago at IBEX I saw a set of shaft tubes that were sealed from water and ran...
I have stated the sentiment previously as well. What makes me doubt that that was the situation is that the boat was indeed insured for the voyage...
For Bertram, from a individual case perspective this may be true, but when one looks at the broader perspective of continuing business, this may...
From the first time I saw pictures of it, I'd bet on that boat having seen damage in its days as a demo boat that I seriously doubt the current...
Correct, I misused "certification" where I should have used "acceptance" or "approval", though he is talking about being an independent...
There's excessive code tagging on them. Delete the "url"s in the brackets and everything outside of them
That would depend on who is selling the boat and the title history (which I don't know so I'm speaking in hypothetical tense here). If the boat...
Boats, airplanes and women, the price of acquisition is only the start...:eek:
You will need first and foremost MONEY! It takes some money to get a visa that will allow you to work. If you have $250,000 to stick in a US bank...
Very different. Most of those rules were driven by unions, Florida has never been a Union State. IIRC, the only time a licensed electrician is...
You're best to stick to Florida, very little required in the way of licensing for unclassed vessels, and there's plenty of work even if you are...
I'm continuously amazed by the amount of cheap owners out there who farm out everything regardless of how critical to the lowest bidder. Down in...
