Ahh... I disagree. You can run at low RPM without damage. It is done all the time. Some captains even run a single motor. Also, if you are...
There has been a lot of discussion about this topic on this and other boards. The view from individuals who know something about diesel engines...
Can a 4m jet tender, say like the Williams 385, pull a wake boarder with a driver and spotter in the boat?
Why is that? Is it price? Is it performance? Is it maintenance? Is it space taken up by the motor?
What is the latest in Jet Tenders? I will be looking to get a 4m (+or-) this summer. I had heard that there were some reliability issues with...
That seems to make a lot of sense. Effectively though, you are favoring a "centralized" approach, with lots of redundancy, versus a...
Thanks everyone for your inputs. Something I need to check into, but does anyone know if electro-hydraulic pumps suffer from "overheating"...
This is an 85'. You can never have enough space in a boat, but there is sufficient space in the ER for multiple hydraulic packs.
On a larger boat I am considering, the hydraulics are run from multiple individual electro-hydraulic units (one for rudders, one for thrusters,...
While I haven't owned a Pershing, I have sea trialed them and came close to buying. The interesting thing about Arneson's on Pershings is fuel...
I have a recent Azimut 62 currently and have put over 1500 nm on it in less than 1 year. I have been in conditions that had 35kn+ winds and 15ft+...
My wife and I run a 62 footer ourselves. This past year we operated it over 1500 nautical miles. We are stepping up to an 85 footer -- which is...
1. Will I be able (with training) to navigate the 68ft yacht by myself? Depends how competant you are. 2. Should I buy new or slightly used?...
If you like the boat otherwise, just factor the cost of an engine rebuild into the cost of the boat then determine whether it is still a good buy.
There is no need to get a captain's license if you are running your own boat and will not be chartering it. While the education you get with a...
That's an Azimut... might be the 62 Fly or something smaller given the passarelle at the stern not being a retractable one.
Having been a critic of Fairlines older interiors in the past, the new interior looks very nice. The walnut with the gloss finish looks very...
This may sound insensitive, but I think it is kind of a dumb question. What one can afford for a hobby is really a function of how much do...
Driving a boat is easy... it is parking that is hard! :) It is possible to run a 100' with two people. Some friends of mine do just that....
Sounds like an fun project. I am in the process of spec-ing out a semi-custom build as well, for the same intended crusing areas (Alaska to...
