The engine room pics are not so bad and the crane looks impressive but otherwise.......
Don't overlook the fact the some Maritimos have a sleeper sofa type berth in the enclosed bridge. Makes for a great fourth sleeping area....
I'm not an expert in marine hydraulics, but I've been around construction equipment for 35 years. Putting yourself under an assembly that is...
I agree. Looks like the pin was seized or partially pulled out.
You might try taking it to a local starter/alternator shop. Chances are they can rebuild it. It may cost as much as a new unit, but in your...
For sportfish boats in my area, it's pretty common to have a paid captain for boats over 55 ft, but honestly I think it's more to do with the...
Apologies. I'll try again. Price is $350 plus shipping. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a Side Power Thruster Remote kit (RC21-U) listed on Ebay. Controls bow thruster and windlass. Like new condition. Let me know if you...
Cool thing is thing is that you have a clear picture of what you want based on a similar vessel. I agree that a ladder to the swim platform is a...
If you go with the shutters, buy the "roll up" type, either manual or electric. I have a couple of buds with the removable aluminum panels....
Unless the ownership changes, I would think the customer experience would be fairly consistent in a given yard. In my construction business,...
Last I heard, Lightning Yachts in Beaufort had closed, but Bill is often on the Hull Truth website. He has a similar user name. You can find him...
My take on Nautistyles is that it's entertaining and well produced. They do not profess to be experts on any of the vessels that they review....
Ross- Thanks for posting. It takes time, which is not always in surplus when you're underway. In June, I purchased a 48 Maritimo lying Marco...
I've had two "odor incidents" since I've owned my boat. Number one was caused by a clogged vent in the waste tank. Pressure built in the tank...
My Mikelson has twin 480 hp Cummins. I often run at 8 to 9 knots and get around 2 nmpg. As with most boats, if you slow to 6 knots, mileage is...
I don't agree with the size versus cost issue, either. That's like saying a 4,000 sq.ft. house costs the same to maintain as a 2,000 sq.ft....
I don't have a Post 42, but my Mikelson 43 is close. I think your costs are realistic, based on my five-year average. As you know, the service...
I don't personally know of any boat share arrangements, but it's common for small planes. Small plane operating agreements might be a good start...
Mikelson 50's and 57's are sportfish boats with good cruising features. Most have stairs to the flybridge. Lots of interior volume for their...
