HUGE difference on this size boat. If going express, the 35' Carolina Classic is the best riding express I've run out of all of them, bar none....
It is a little complicated to remove, clean and replace them and more labor intensive than most motors because you have to take several things off...
I had a boat that I managed with those engines, they had low hours around 650 hours, and mysteriously they both started running hot around a month...
I agree with this totally. For that price range I'd move about and beyond detroit diesels. I would take a hard look at a Cabo. I would also...
I agree with the other sentiments and would also take a look at the 58' Searay SB, they are more capable ocean boats than the carvers and similar...
He's out of St. Augustine which isn't too far from your neck of the woods.
Just because it has pvc coring, does not mean that the decks cannot get weak if there's water intrusion. You can take divynicell and break it in...
All of the newer boats I manage have spring loaded valves that keep them in the closed position. A lot of older yachts I manage or have been on,...
It's true, actually you can get away with gauges, a good leak detector, and r-22, an infrared temp gun, and a few small tools. At least then you...
I saw a boat leak fuel all over the marina the other day for that very reason. The owner didn't close the gate valves on the sight tubes and 1...
Well, I have run a Davis 58 a few times. It is a production boat and really no different than an Egg Harbor and is built exactly the same with...
Get to the sender, check for voltage on the sender, then jump the two wires on the sender and see if the gauge pegs. If it does, then the sender...
I think the rubber pontoon absorbed it and was directly between him and the grenade.....it's amazing how quickly it detonated though.
I'd run them at 80% as recommended by the manufacturer. One thing I've seen that wears on MANS since they don't have as much torque as CATS are...
Yes, other US companies had some issues, and handled them. But the issues weren't nearly as wide spread. Bertrams issues were basically most of...
Or, what about a real boat, a Magnum?
Have you tried talking to Viking? I've found that they're one of the few great companies to deal with long after the boat has been purchased.
Ohhhhh yeah, I would guess a crew of 40 would be about right. I wouldn't want a yacht that size, where you're regulated to either docking in...
In typical Italian fashion, At least the yacht is large enough to justify a full time marine electrician as crew in addition to a full time...
It's kind of hard to create a new image when you've been building boats that self destruct for the last decade. I would think that if you started...
