You’re not going to see much on the inside of the tank. The problem almost certainly lies with corrosion and/or electrolysis on the outside,...
One minor point here, many modern real ships run on multiple engines and screws these days. Cruise ships, ferriees, war ships (except subs),...
I haven’t purchased a UPS yet. I was hoping to find one without an alarm or one that can be turned off. No luck so far. I have seen talk where...
I’m not too concerned about a low battery alarm as I’ll turn the STARLINK off so it won’t draw on the battery. Most UPS units I’ve seen go into...
What UPS are you guys using to cover switch over from Shore to Gen or back? I'm thinking to go this route vs powering it from an inverter as I...
The 375's are pushing max hp you can make with still maintaining some reliability. They pushed them to 425 and they were grenades. Highly...
Congrats! The 3208ta is a good motor as long as the hp is kept reasonable. I had a pair of the 320hp versions in a Sea Ray Sportfish and they...
I wasn’t saying they are bad or suggesting anyone should copy them. Just seems like if they were that good somebody would have bought the patent...
Given the competition for faster and more efficient boat/motor combos out there I would think we would be seeing these everywhere by now if they...
Nah - technology on these things is amazing. Won't let you fly it into any object and it will automatically land at the exact same spot you hade...
Photo choppers - are you guys serious? You can buy a high quality drone with high res camera for far less than the cost of a chopper and use it...
Curious how you will inspect the shaft tubes that run through the fuel tanks? I'm assuming you can't access them from inside the tanks and the...
The problem restoring these old ships usually is not the rusted steel or obsolete propulsion systems. The big cost is dealing with the hazardous...
Really a great looking boat. Especially for its age. I'm very jealous of the space in that engine room and access around the mains. What is the...
In my opinion, the temp need only be above the dew point I would tend to agree with you as far as temp goes if you are planning to keep them on....
No pitting on the rudders. Must just be in the photo, not sure what you are seeing. Did a full NDT of the rudders and rudder/post welds not long...
Replenish the bank account. :):):)
I'm shocked to hear you have a 1990 boat with non-DDEC. My 1994 boat was DDEC II. Here's what I found for DDEC info: The first system, DDEC I,...
The revised waterline at the bow also came out good. This is with about 1/2 fuel and 1/2 water. It's about 3" reveal on the A/F. Obviously will be...
Yesterday was splash day after the long winter. I'm really happy with the way the paint job turned out. At the last minute we also decided to...
