Looks great! Ballpark cost, if you don't mind me asking?
[IMG] I'm sure it must have been carefully tuned, but the offset to starboard of the rudder blade looks mental! Any idea of top speed?
Very interesting. Are you thinking to keep also traditional flaps? If yes, I think that the two interceptors outboard of the props might be...
I think your swamp logic would have made a lot of sense even if the owner would have thought to return to colder climates. The risk of overheating...
Welcome to the world of the so-called "content creators". Which, to add insult to injury, actually benefit from the fact that you watched their...
I can't imagine any better proof that the very simple answer to your question is no. BTW, I'd be awfully skeptic even if gyro producers would have...
FWIW, here's the page of my manual mentioning either annual or 500 hours oil replacement interval. They do mention also a one-off replacement...
Same as mine, then. Out of curiosity, do they call for either yearly or 500 hours replacement also in your manual? Personally, I don't mind the...
According to which manual? If you check out the ZF manual page I posted, straight 30 is preferred, straight 40 is for hot climates, and multigrade...
Neither 16L nor 16K are oil types I'm familiar with. I guess the classification is different between our sides of the ocean? Anyway, attached is...
Here's the relevant page from the manual of my ZF gearboxes. Also mated to MAN engines, but much less powerful (V8/800), so definitely not the...
Why, do you know something we still don't about the Bayesian? BTW, Italian authorities immediately authorized MAIB to join the investigations...
I'm not sure of what triggers your perception of Italian judicial system, but if you would be interested in a more solid evaluation, check out...
The latter look more like a fixed u/w gear protection whenever (intentionally?) grounding the vessel, rather than stabilizers. But I'm just...
Or a wombat, maybe? :) [ATTACH]
I've never gone that route, just the other way round - i.e. from a number of open, single deck boats, to a 53' flybridge first, and lastly a 56',...
Do you mean life as usual aside from fighting the red flu drinking bleach instead of margaritas? :D Anyway, if you enjoy FL lifestyle, good for...
Do you mean there's no emission rules all new boats must comply with, in FL? I'd expect that in Nigeria, if that... o_O
Just for the records, it's Gardner that used to build marine diesels - gardeners are the folks who grow plants in gardens. Anyhow, what you are...
Interesting to see inward spinning props. Happy to learn from someone more familiar than myself with this vessel size if that's normal, and why....
