Agreed. It's always best to buy the yacht in the best shape to start with. All of the small parts are expensive......and they add up FAST. There...
DON'T, you do not want that stuff circulating through a CAT aftercooler. Doing stuff like this is probably why CAT aftercoolers are failing. Do...
Of the ones that failed on a few of them the maintenance was way overdue. Another one the owner previously like in 3 years earlier ran over a...
The 65' Searay used CATS. The 59' L and smaller all used Brunswick engines. All Meridians used Brunswick engines.
The problem is. they run the yacht manufacturers they buy into the ground. Can't sell motors, if you stopped selling the yachts you're putting...
Because I don't think they're doing their little island park thing as much. Perhaps only for the dinner cruise? IDK. I've been up and down the...
These are pretty much my thoughts. They're an above average quality boat, built for an average price. I have done some LONG deliveries in Sea...
No it doesn't but on their best day they're 18 years and over 3000 hours old......A little PM goes a long way. Everytime they're cleaned they lose...
Given the age (years) of the aftercoolers, they haven't made a 3412 since 2003, just replace the damn things.
I felt differently, to me it felt cramped a bit compared to say a 65' Sunseeker......
I agree they're more maintenance. To Volvo's credit most of these yachts were modern trade in yachts and the service intervals weren't done on...
The strataglass across the rear completely sucks in an express. I had one owner sell a 55' express because of it. When you're running all of...
I wouldn't say no issues. I've run 5 different yachts to the yard in the past 2 years that had to have the IPS drives completely rebuilt, either...
There was a full electric line on their site 2 months ago when I previously looked at it. It's not showing now. I think it was on the side-power...
The entire reason Volvo bought Seven Marine was to use the lower unit and mid section to put a 300-350HP diesel on top of it. They couldn't get...
They were on the Siepner website (parent company of sidepower). For some reason the website has issues right now. Electric fins have no...
A friend of mine was full time on a 66' Azimut, by the time the boat was 3 years old, it had 3 different water leaks into the salon. You'll...
But the 350hp and 400 hp numbers are about the same HP to weight ratio as the 600hp v12. Right now the 450's only come with a 6 month or 1 year...
He doesn't already have stabilizers, it's a new install. Electric is supposed to actuate faster than hydraulic.
Easier to run wires than hydraulic hoses, no hydraulic pumps (engine driven or electric), electric motors have full torque all of the time. But...
