Thanks to both of you, again. Can you please look at my question in post 96 re the inverters? Still unclear on that....
Per my fuel gauges at 8-9 knots I'm getting right around 1 nmpg. Slow down to idle speed (around 5 knots) and I'm getting 2 or better. But I...
OK--yes I get around .6-.7 nmpg in that range. I have the Diesel Views. It's a 43 Mi kelson. Another question: Seems like a lot of boats in the...
OK thanks--kind of what I figured Did you mean to say 19 and 20? Not sure where that came from.
Curious whether with these big engines you get any fuel benefit slowing down to say 14-15 nmph? On my boat now (twin Cummins QSC 540) the milage...
Great info--thanks!
Good info, thank you. Kind of disappointed about the OAs that I saw, but I guess it's just a question of factoring the repair into the price.
Thanks--I figure from talking to people and reading that it's not a quality issue, but I also don't want to spend this kind of money on a boat and...
Went and looked at four boats today. Whew. The Hatt clearly is a step above the OAs. Each of the OAs I saw (3 total) had large amounts of...
Again, good to know, thanks. Having trouble finding a hard top with lower steering station right now but I may need to bend on one of those. Or...
And Hampton! I'm in SoCal but bought my last boat from Florida and had it shipped so been there done that and would do it again. That said,...
Thank you again. You mention the 63 above but all I'm seeing in my price range are 62s, mostly with C18's. Same view on those?
Those C18s on the Hatt's are like Big Foot now. Good info on Neptunus. You'd rate them higher quality-wise over Hampton, OA, Offshore, West Bay,...
Thanks. Yeah I haven't seen one with C18s either. We're looking at boats from 52 to 64. The OA 548 looks nice also. There's one local that I'm...
Thanks. Have looked at a lot of Manhattans online. Most have Mans, and while I've read your posts on Mans it turns out in my area (Los Angeles)...
OK good to know, thanks. Thanks for the good info. Tend to agree on the 3412s being overkill and I'm really trying to keep cost of ownership...
My search got delayed but picking up this coming week. One question I'd like to resolve--since one of my goals includes possible long range...
For some reason I'm not getting notifications of posts. Need to check my settings. Didn't see your response until just now when I checked it. Re...
I'm not at all familiar with the Galeon. Will check them out. We wanted to go a bit larger than 50 but I see they make other models as well....
Thanks. Your comment on Volvos is interesting. Seems like there are a lot of them out there but I don't see anywhere close to the volume of...
