Agreed, and that's one nice thing of modern engines: you can get a decent idea of how the boat was used, based on the total fuel burn throughout...
I'm afraid it might well be the case, CJ. Mind, I'm not saying this because, as the old saying goes, misery loves company. Far from that, and I...
Amen to that!
As I understand, this is not what the US President believes - not anymore, at least. Maybe he missed your reassuring scientific views on this matter.
Talking of which, I can't remember if the only two Marlows I've ever seen had a similar layout, but looking at the ad photos I couldn't help...
Yup, all agreed. Btw, on top of all behaviors in a seaway, I would be extremely curious to see also if that thing can really reach the declared...
If you are interested in the boat, I would expect the broker to be able to satisfy your curiosity. But I agree with OB, the reasons are...
Happy to have helped. Just a couple of further comments: Actually, there's nothing wrong in closing sea water intakes when not used. The one you...
I don't think either. The strainer is the canister shape thing that you found along the hull intake pipe, and is meant to filter garbage that...
How come?
The question is not stupid, but I don't think it's easy to answer it, also for anyone who knows the boat model. Wouldn't it be simpler to ask the...
Hopefully, but I'm not holding my breath. You would have expected that we learned a lesson about ruling and restricting leveraged finance and...
Very sensible reasoning OB, but at the same time, what you are saying is also the reason why reactions can only be really effective if dealt with...
Feel free, if comparing the mighty US of A with a Country as large as Arizona makes you feel better. As well as you are free to vote again for...
I wasn't aware of that, but it makes sense, from what can be seen in the above photos. And is consistent with my memories of the Northern Marine...
Why, can you provide scientific evidence that this isn't going to be even worse? The only thing we are sure of is that there's much more that we...
It can and does happen also with much smaller boats. Not sure if the reasons are similar, but based on the above photos alone, the accident in...
Positively +1! I'm well aware that running WOT for a meaningful amount of time is part of these tests, but 1.5 hours sounds indeed OTT. Btw,...
Agreed, but that should be included in the normal process, as far as I know. I mean, the warranty validation of marine engines on newly built...
I get that, and I'm aware that the durability of Cat aftercoolers is nowadays much worse than it used to be. I was just saying that if it were a...
