I'm always trying to come across as relaxed and happy on the boat, but things like that happen when people are too relaxed and comfortable around...
No confusion, I don't think. I meant they apparently fixed the problem on the second hull by moving the transom back ten feet. That would add a...
Adding ten feet certainly seems preferable to adding an underwater buoyancy tank.
So $1.5M and you have a beautiful boat, but what is that bit about ten-knot cruise speed?
Hard to know exactly in this case, maybe the owner didn't want anything but fluids and filters for 12 years. The maintenance company left a large...
How about not only failing to fish out the pieces, my boat came to me with 12-yr-old impellers, originals. I'm pretty sure it was the scoop...
I'm going to guess by your location these have been running in salt water. That engine runs raw (salt) water through the exhaust manifold, it is...
What engines? What year? Raw water cooled or coolant cooled with heat exchangers? Is plenty of water coming out of the exhaust? Your risers...
Solar and batteries have made some huge improvements, don't see as many turbines these days.
Google "marine air conditioner" and you will see a variety of them. The window version would work, not sure what that does to the value of your...
There are marine air conditioners that run off AC or DC that would be quieter, possibly easier to retrofit (need a couple thru-hull fittings),...
When you say "appears as though", are you checking voltage with a meter or just by plugging in fixtures? If you are going to start DIY on...
I used to drive big boats often, grew up working at marinas and charter, taught sailing, and had a yacht maintenance business. 30 years went by...
Friends of mine worked at Broward Yacht, they say old man Peterson used to walk through the boats with his thumb on top of his head, and if his...
Mine had 320 hours in 12 years, and is near perfect. He was still using it to go to/from his island home, I don't think it sat overly long, but...
Agree. At higher hull speed your scoop strainers are pushing water through the raw water system regardless of condition of your impellers. This...
Pictures? What boat? 3" pipe is pretty big for this application. Does the pipe come off the bottom of the tank and run horizontal under the...
The side stands should not be adjusted with the full weight of the boat on them, if it is even possible. Perhaps with enough grease and muscle....
No, I've seen keels crushed on boats from not enough blocking on the sides, even well-built boats. Contact the manufacturer, there are specific...
If I offer free boat rides to anyone who claims they are thinking about buying my boat, guess what I'll be doing 24/7 until an actual buyer comes...
