It's possible. But the charterer claimed he never hit anything. And there was no indications on any of the underwater gear or bottom that they...
Thanks for moving it. And sorry for getting off track on the other thread.
Well, there were no marks what so ever to the running gear, rudders or the bottom. (But once I pulled the boat I found the shaft bent at a point...
Well, here's the result when a Ford Lehman goes from fwd to reverse in the blink of an eye. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Of course the charterer...
ADMIN NOTE: This thread was split from another discussion. What would happen if someone accidentally put the engines in full speed...
While I agree water is more than capable of that level of destruction. In many cases a race boat, like a race car, is purposely built light and...
Don't lock it. Moderate it and let it die on it's own.
Well at least I don't have to keep biting my tongue any longer. The video is, am sure, as ****ing now as when I first saw it a while back....

Please read for content. I never said "ALL Bertrama are c--- boats." But IF they are found to be building boats that are not safe to use for...
"sheet or cover"? All I see is sand and fish.
That was my point. If they are not willing to "put up" then perhaps, sadly, they should fail as a company. And hopefully some one else will...
I've been thinking one way for Bertram to help keep it's good name would be to offer all 63 owners the chance to let Bertram pay for a full hull...
He docked like that "everytime"!? Why? Was he the owner of the boat? If he wasn't, I can't believe the owner of the vessel would allow that to...
I tend to agree. That prop, at least what we can see of it looks fine. As does the hull above the strut and shaft. And I still can't see any...
I'd have to say perhaps #2. But it's hard to believe just hitting a buoy like that could have done that much damage even with lousy...
But does the rudder show any indication of a strike? Hard to tell from the pictures but it did not look bent or damaged. Perhaps as the transom...
