Liam, buckle up. You should know by now that there's no such thing as a specific sea condition, with a specific boat, that Capt J didn't...
Interesting, I wasn't aware of it. Tells much more about the US boatbuilding industry rather than about AziBen, I reckon. o_O
Multiple issues, lack of quality, sizzle and no steak, no quality control, and so on. Yet, Azimut turnover is well over triple of Sunseeker, they...
Correct. The truth of the matter is that their boats are aimed at pleasing those who buy them, as opposed to those who helm them and/or work on...
Agreed, Bayliss SFs are indeed among the cleanest and most elegant around. And that pattern is sort of acceptable on the boat - as opposed to...
Well, now that I directly earned the bonus points, It's fair to leave the rest to someone else! :D
Upgrading from a previous Catch 22, possibly? :) No idea about the pattern, but the style reminds me of Bayliss boats.
I struggle to think of a reason why the thing couldn't be used for controlling only the gearboxes. Sure, all these gizmos (not only Dockmate) have...
And even more important (imho), with a MUCH higher reliability.
Don't waste any money then.

Just in case you didn't think to check it, they have 3 of their Darwin explorers for sale, on CdM website (one 86 and two 102). Unless your client...
Very wise indeed. I have another (personal) rule of thumb, which is that all boats are headaches, so you want the smallest that is just enough...
Do tell, you've got a Mangusta or a Predator for sale, dontcha? :D Over the years, I came across all sort of mental plans with boats. But buying...
Good for you. To be completely honest, they aren't among my favorite MANs, mostly because they are fitted with the so-called EDC injection system,...
1050hp V10 powered, I wish you it is? Not because the alternative (base) powerplant, i.e. the 800hp V8, was bad - that's what I've got in my...
BTW, just in case you misunderstood, 'twas a 145 thousands GT cruise ship. Not my favourite type of boating, but while going around Glacier Bay I...
Wow, that must be pretty rare in FL. Even up in the northernmost point of your State, you are still at the latitude of the southernmost point of...
