I would add a couple of things to what Pascal correctly pointed out. First, as I recall the Marquis 59 has an overhanging swim platform, which...
@Capt J: yeah, that's what I was referring to, nothing else. :)
Fully agreed. In the OP boots, based on his numbers, I would either cruise under 1100 or anywhere between 1800 and 2000.
Below is my 2c, related to a boat which is slightly smaller than yours (56'), and powered by 800hp MAN engines. The problem with old school...
Please do, it will be very interesting to see them. Out of idle curiosity, I did a bit of math using your numbers, and it appears that each of...
Now, that's a Freudian slip, if I've ever seen one! :D
I would make that... Any boat purchase is a mystery project, period. :D
You're saying that as if prices had anything to see with better or worse maintenance, while they are strictly triggered by the good old supply and...
You're right, my bad. I did read the post (obviously), but didn't notice that bit.
Fair enough, Riknpat. I had no idea of your age, and since you said that you would cross the pond by boat, I guessed that you were much younger....
Riknpat, I sympathize with your somewhat philosophical train of thoughts. But I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you also should be careful...
Impressive cruising ground indeed. You made me envious, particularly at this time of the year! Aside from the nurse shark pet grooming bit, that...
Good call, even if I'm sure it's annoying to have wasted some time and money. The broker is Mr. Robert Damas of Florida Yachts International, as...
Fairenuff, but that doesn't contradict what I said. GRP cored (aka "sandwich") construction has been around for decades, sometimes mixed with...
... I guess I might sound inquisitive, but don't get me wrong, it's a genuine curiosity: Why are you calling "composite" what as I understand is...
The yellow boot stripe is actually far from being a novelty. I'd rather call it a classic, which works very well also with wooden hulls. The first...
Bad manifold temperature sensor on stbd engine, possibly?
Why? Leaving aside the fact that the hour meter in one of the ad photos shows less than 1400 hours, I would want to know the real reason for the...
Well, when it comes to having a swim in the ocean, you'll forgive me if I'm only a bit envious of the former and not at all of the latter, no...
Thanks for sharing it with us. Normally, I'm more than happy with my backyard Med anchorages, but I must admit that seeing what yours look like in...
