$2000 including "gender service"? That sounds like a bargain, assuming they did a good job.... Thanks for this. Couple follow-ups if OK: 1....
I think changing all the fuel and oil and filters and impellers on my QSC 540s is about $1200 parts and labor (a little less actually). No travel...
I've read the opposite on the cost of maintaining the Mans. I've read the common rail Mans are good engines, but that scheduled services are...
Yes, I don't plan to pursue that one, just thought it was kind of funny especially in light of the bathtub comment. My current boat was purchased...
OK thanks will check it out, but an owners forum is a lot more likely to have fans as opposed to objective views. Didn't notice a bathtub on the...
Potential purchase situation. Going to be seeing one this weekend and looking for any information I can find. Good, bad, whatever. If you have...
OK thanks--I'll need to inquire about the performance on the OA 548 I'm checking out this weekend. Having less than 10' water under the keel at...
Thank you. Heading down to Newport this weekend to check on a Hatt. Will PM you. Hahahahaha...yeah so I may be stressing out a little more than...
Thanks I'll look into that (tank inspection). Capt J--a few questions based on your posts 8 and 16. 1. What year range were you referring to...
Agreed--great to see. Are those vector fins?
Thanks but is it just a coin toss whether I'm going to have an issue of not? I don't recall the survey on my last boat even addressing the...
Thanks both. That's valuable info. Seakeepers on some of the boats I'm looking at are north of $200k. I assume zero speed stabilization would...
Thanks. Have not but they look to fit the bill as well. A lot of choices. Seems like these have aluminum tanks also. Wonder if I'm putting too...
Following up on this thread, has anyone here slept on a boat using vector fin stabilizers at zero speed and if so did you notice how noisy they...
Those are great numbers. Better than what I get in my 43 SF now. Thank you. Any idea how tough it would be to replace the fuel tanks if that wee...
Good to know--thanks Thanks so much for this response. Yes they seem like good bang for the buck. And after looking a while it may be that...
Thanks again and I hear you. Problem is going north of CA is something I MAY end up doing. Spending weekends at Catalina and in the marina...
Thank you Capt J--I've read a number of your posts and clearly you like the Hatt, which is one of the big reasons I'm considering it even though...
Thanks all. Koffee you didn't mention what boat you have(?) Plan to contact the insurance agent Monday to discuss what they will do. Right now...
Thanks. I was thinking I don't need much in the way of range given that I'll be staying close to shore. Most of the models I'm looking at have...
