We're getting way off topic. But new hydraulic stabilizers (modern technology) work really well if the installation and sizing is correct....
Hydraulic would be a fine retrofit in most boats and not that big of a deal to install. Sidepower now does make electric fins, I just haven't had...
You keep moving the goal post. I would go with whatever system worked the best for my application. If I was sending a boat to a remote place,...
Yamaha or Verados?
Me too, but I've managed several Neptunus over the years and never had a hint of any coring issues. They're a quality yacht and built pretty...
I'd rather have a newer 44' HTX with less hours than a 52' for the same money. The 52' was a very good riding boat, and all areas were bigger,...
Arnesons are a VERY HARD sell in this size range and over here. Especially for owner operators. I'd say that out of all of the owner/operators...
Look at Neptunus as they may meet your needs also. As far as I know Neptunus has never used Balsa.
We can agree to disagree, but Fairline was in serious financial trouble in that era 2013-2019, or for the first 2/3s of that era. They didn't...
Sidepower has an entire line of 100% electric fins. Hydraulic can be retrofitted fairly easily as well (that's what all fins were almost, up until...
I wouldn't touch anything from Gyro Gale. Not familiar with CMC, however would highly recommend sidepower curved stabilizer fins, ran a boat...
Lazzara and Viking are the only 2 builders I know of that built out of Balsa and used it successfully and without issues. Viking on SF decks many...
I wonder if it will have the same spectacular results that the Hindenburg had.
Sunseeker predators are much better build quality, better ride, better performance etc. Azimuts have a lot of maintenance headaches with wiring,...
Yes, I am keeping in class. OP is talking about European MY expresses with traditional props and shafts. Specifically compared the 62' Fairline...
The Hatteras GT's are a very nice boat. I'd give them a nudge above Viking on ride and a slight nudge in overall build quality too.
Yachts 45-75'. And yes, you draw less water on plane than at hull speed if you're over 25 knots, hence being "on plane", with the tabs buried,...
Possibly, could have self bailing floors no longer self bailing and water coming in scuppers, but the biggest issue is COG of the boat. Add an...
I'd rate Sunseeker above the other choices......If you can swing the 62-64' Sunseeker Predator, that is an AMAZING hull and ride, best in class...
