A few 54 Bertram's were successfully repowered with MTU Detroit Diesel Series 60 (14 liter) engines rated at 825 hp. They cruised at a 20 - 22...
This is not the same generation Californian/Veneti from the 80's, this hull came from different tooling. The Zeus Pods required Tunnels and the...
It has been awhile, but they had supplied the white plastic Tyco push in connectors that had built-in pockets which trap moisture, which in turn...
You have to be very aware of who / how the Hino diesels are going to be serviced, as well as which transmission they have. If it is an obsolete...
The Sundancer Models below 30 feet are just not a good compromise - too much interior space for the loa resulting in too high of a center of...
You are in Sea Ray country, enough said. Getting a Bayliner / Carver would be like rooting for the Wisconsin Badgers or Washington Huskies :D...
Did he repower it himself? Can't find any Viking 41, 1990 or older, that has anything near an 8V-92 from the factory. A few re-powerd with...
About time someone stands up, our Industry needs more reviews that tell it like it really is. We should all be striving to make products that can...
A couple of corrections - Hull Length is 107', and she had a rather significant Bow Pulpit that put her at about 113' loa. Design was credited...

Congrats on the boat purchase, that type of staircase should be a piece of cake for Huckins.
You are overthinking the process. If you would be closer to the "action" you would have a better understanding of who and how money is put down at...
I will beg to differ on that opinion. Boat Shows are about sales, pure and simple, always been and always will be. There is no other motivation...
I recall Lydia Yachts building a custom cold molded SF around 100', but am not too sure of any others that use wood as the key part of their...
Running the cockpit as a mate is a young persons game, just like the Olympics, where the 20 somethings dominate and the 30 somethings have to move...
Probably not too sad for the custom builders, as they can make a bit more margin in that size/class of boat. The production guys have been more...
The Uniflite built Pacemaker MY designs were a short part of their history, but they did quite well with their Double Cabin MY's (36/42) and later...
I would not say that is unique to our Marine Industry, as consolidation is happening across the board as well as globally in most industries....
