Easy when your previous gig was captain of a dock queen.
That's what I'd refer to as a house yacht, combination houseboat and yacht. She's not something you'd want to get into anything serious with,...
Don't knock it. When I first got my ticket I chartered my 13' Boston Whaler for water skiing.:D Whatever it takes to be on the water making...
I sent your question to a friend who has a 31' Island Packet and this was his reply: "I have an island packet 31 and they all have a great deal...
Ah but would you want to pay the fuel bill for 8 months of running a 40 meter motor yacht across the Pacific or deal with its range limitations....
The roundover should do it. Can't say I agree with the overhang, but it's not my boat. I do think that may cause issues down the road. I notice...
A little more modern I saw this one on TV the other day: https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/submarine-sports-car/
If you're talking about for cruising the Pacific I can't think of a single one. You may not be able to outrun some storms but a sailing yacht is...
That's what I'd hope but it wasn't mentioned. The OP looks to be doing beautiful work though.
Would you hire a motor yacht captain to run your sail boat or someone used to running a 30' to run your 200'? Running boats is very similar to...
But what if the only boat the captain was used to didn't have water-makers, stabilizers, etc. or the electronics and systems were from the 90's?...
On big boats that's generally handled by the engineer, but on 40'- 100' that's most often the captain's job to know about. And yes some...
Didn't want to hijack the thread, making it all about the example. Most of his experience was aboard his own minimally equipped sailboat that he...
You have 2 holding tanks on your 290? I believe you have a single 20 gal. holding tank. Follow the piping.
That's very generous of you and might be valid if that were the extent of our interview, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. Sure he could...
My experience is that there's a big learning curve from the electronics and systems on vessels to how and where the owners like to operate. Most...
I did a bunch of research trying to find your answer and couldn't find it. How about telling us so it's available here for anyone next time?
Wow lots of complicated theorizing. All for naught it seems. I'm with Soultice. The head bolts needed to be torque or replaced.
Of course. You need to set a specific day for payment and follow up immediately. Most of the time the first promise is a lie. The key is often...
Sounds like you handled that exactly right, except for the 7-10 day extensions. Sometimes it's just a matter of how you phrase things. That's...
