Just to be clear, it was .75 KT gain not 3-4kt.
We switched from 4 Blade Michigan wheels to Veem interceptors in 2020 on our Cat C12 powered Tiara and had a similar experience to what MY lover...
Hi Rodger, It appears there would be enough room to to not have to raft everyone, is there a reason that they do this instead filling up the...
Years ago, we had a 10’ AB with a 9.9 Mercury 2 Stroke. It was light weight, planed with 4 adults (2 women and 2 guys) and did ok in a little...
I don’t have experience with that particular model, however being a sport fish, pay attention to how low to the water the deck/platform are. I...
We had the same experience as Dockmaster going from 4 blade Michigan wheels to 5 blade Veem's. Picked up roughly 1kt at cruise and a bit of...
Another vote for Veem. We installed new Interceptor props on our boat last year. They were very close out of the box... a 20 min short haul to...

Where are you planning on mooring it on Lake MI?
Martin Kelsey in Door County or Tyler in Milwaukee (both with Centerpointe) are knowledgeable brokers. I’ve used Martin on a few boats. I...
Hurricane Harvey was September of 2017... If there was any maintenance since then, I would expect records from the last 3 years and 9 months....
It has a single 30 and a single 50.
Our Tiara has both 30A and 50A receptacles. I've only used the 30A a handful of times when that is all that was available. I just managed the...
Depending on the boat it’s going on, weight will be as big of an issue as size. When we first installed the freedom lift, I tried a friend’s...
Are you sure the hard top can hold a dinghy and davit crane? That seems to me to be a lot of weight pretty high on a not very heavy boat.
I see you’re up on Superior... although different generation of boat we’ve had good luck with Charter Lakes (Gallagher) on the Great Lakes as far...
I would change it annually regardless of (low) hours. I’d also be worried about what other maintenance was deferred on a 5 year old boat that...
$2K to save time and a cycle on the aircraft may be worth it...
Looks amazing Pascal. Did they have to land somewhere else in the Bahamas first or are you able to somehow clear in there if flying from US?
