No need to yell, and look, I like factual information on these boards as much as the next person, but you are wrong. JP5 is a refined kerosene,...
Not sure what facts you have on this matter, but I disagree on your statement. Military time between overhauls are significantly less than any...
The Post 46 has a relative deep forefoot along with shallow deadrise at the transom. Coupled with aft fuel tanks, it can certainly highlight...
We had a 46 Post for awhile (4 yaers), and she did swap "ends" sometimes, especially when coming back from our longer fishing trips. I attribute...
I am not sure where the "throw away engine for the military" comments come from but I doubt if this was the driving design/business case to bore...
Wooden (Cold-molded) construction has great insulating properties. A lot of older wooden boats have round bilges, hence no chine to slap. I also...
OK got it, but isn't Leno a West Coaster now? Anyways, the mooring areas off Catalina would be considered fairly unprotected and open to a lot...

Having the financial strength to offer customer support (warranty) and successfully executing the support to the customer's satisfaction are two...
Today's Hatteras / Cabo issue is not the result of employee wages, it goes above to management level decisions and lost market share. Made in...
It's hard to throw general numbers around this quite peculiar and somewhat dis-jointed industry. I have been involved with and seen the numbers...
I have a hard time buying into your description of the Dutch Auto industry. The trick in the states is to show the consumer a "dealer" invoice and...
There really is no cartel pricing in the yacht business, as the industry is not as open to consolidation as the car makers are. So each company...
I have heard that quite a few investors have been through the plant for a 'look see' and discussion. The rumour mill even has Irwin Jacobs taking...
This model is such a classic for the era, one of my all-time favorite "lookers", the proportions are just about perfect. She was also ahead of her...
