I also don't like the wedges option, and as I said I think lights would work well also pointing diagonally downwards. But having said that, at...
I mostly use them pointed towards the bottom, for two reasons: firstly, most of my preferred anchorages are in no more than 20 feet of depth, and...
I can think of a couple of boats that I've seen with a similar transom. Both from small Italian builders, whose name is irrelevant, but I can see...
Well, that is indeed crappy stuff, I must admit. No big deal to replace the Jabsco chinese stuff with a proper Gianneschi pump and forget about it...
Yeah, I can imagine. The pandemic situation is still rather hit and miss at the moment, with occasional improvements followed by some new...
Aha, 3/4M did sound low for a new boat. Well, "low" relatively speaking, of course... :)
I'm not up to speed with new boat prices, but 3/4 of a million for a brand new 55 footer sounds hard to beat to me, even if of course you won't...
Unless my memory fails me, they are not even glued - possibly aside from some specific points. But that's by design: there are very good reasons...
True in general, but you might be in for a pleasant surprise with your new boat, in this respect. I can't be positive with that specific model,...
+1. I got them more years ago than I can remember, and I've yet to try anything that works better. The Pelican hard case they come with (or used...
+1. That said, u/w lights are great for a night swim while anchored in total darkness. In fact, I've had friends onboard who would have never...
No first hand experience on vessels as big as this Turkish thing, but up to 100' or so, I can't remember to have ever seen any boat built from a...
How anyone wealthy enough to afford a 250+ feet hobby can at the same time be so obtuse to have it built by the same folks who produced the epic...
Interesting to hear that... "Sea water system is electrically bonded, so there is no longer zinc anodes to replace." I always wondered why they...
Ok, I was talking of human size boats, where even the quietest genset is still audible. That said, if your chef doesn't prefer cooking with gas,...
I can imagine that you are even more against gas cooktops, then. 'Fiuaskme, the possibility to make some spaghetti at night in the total silence...
Just in case you didn't notice, the post you quoted is dated 2011. o_O Anyway, my understanding is that the block indeed was the same for the 3406...
As much as the only way they could sell me an IPS is OMDB (i.e., over my dead body), I agree with you. A successful product it is for good, that's...
That's essentially down to two main reasons: For boatbuilders, it allows significant savings. On one hand, in terms of hours and workers...
It ain't just a matter of being mode demanding and expensive in terms of maintenance. Some recurrent IPS problems like the water ingress that you...
