Revisiting dimensions in the diagram... Looks to me in the upper pic that 54' 6½" is the length to the aft end of the original molded-in platform...
Thanks for that confirmation. The MAN model numbers and the engines listed in "for sale" ads weren't all that in sync, and then there are so many...
Thanks, all. Still deciding whether to pursue or not... I've seen those dimensions, but without the drawings. That illustration looks like it...
Yep, I thought most "LOAs" have gravitated toward only including swim platforms if they're integral to the hull. PBG doesn't usually round either...
Pros and cons of the 2006-2008 version of this model? I'm surprised the Powerboat Guide and other specs I've found says the boat is 58'0 or maybe...
Got it, thanks. I've been wondering if it could work the same way on a 53' or 58' Yachtfish... but I haven't been wondering hard enough to go...
Pascal, how did you remove the old engines and insert the new engines? Through the boat, somehow? Or out through holes in the hull? Or...? -Chris
At least one discussion here on YF ref pods: https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/should-i-buy-a-boat-with-ips-drives.32848/ -Chris
I think first I'd look at every other kind of boat that's currently offered for sale (in your general size and price range)... and compare all...
We could deal with our "home slip" 50A cord in about 20 seconds. Off at the pedestal, disconnect from the boat, done. Leave on the dock,...
Thank you all, I really appreciate the tips. Can't tell yet if this will turn real or whether it's a false alarm... -Chris
Might need a marine surveyor and a Volvo specialist (likely best would be a servicing dealer). Not sure yet exactly where the target boat lives;...
Yeah... with ours, I decided it was also even slightly easier to change that coolant filter at the same time, too... Surprised this is your first...
We tried some similar to those, a pair of Motorola T6220s. The radios work well, but the time delay when trying to use the VOX feature was very...
Trac told me Sew Clean is the same as Barnacle Buster but without some of the extra "marine" additives that BB has. And they dilute at different...
I don't understand your question... But many of those sliding door systems would have had a long plastic spacer above the door. Removing that...
Not a Post, not a 50.... but I replaced all of our sewage lines. Common recommendation is to use either Trident 101/102 (one black, the other...
In some of their most recent "head-to-head" video comparisons, the Furuno guys have made a big deal about how much they've simplified all that in...
Fair enough. Maybe back to Hatt or Viking SF. Maybe add a "Yacht Controller" (or similar) to replace the idea of a lower station. Or maybe...
Additional well-fortified thought is probably useful. Although your conception of life on a boat isn't all all like ours. We don't do 2 minute...
