No med mooring in Florida which is what the question in about. Actually very few med mooring in the US except for 100+ I ve never felt the need...
I don’t see the need for a thruster on these boats. I have a 53 MY and never felt the need for one. As to stabs it depends on how you use the...
Personally I really like passageweather.com and have been relying on it for years going to the bahamas. Very simple interface but it shows trends...
Hey Scott!! Good to hear from you… that was the day I did that oil change on a mooring. 8 pail of oils. Lol.
Not yet. Just wondering about the recent changes for the smaller licenses as well as sea time requirements on bigger boats after reading posts...
Hard to answer your questions not knowing your definition of a “yacht”. Yacht means something different to different people. To some a 40’ boat is...
I m sure it is. It’s just a bit silly when within the same document they give you two different definition of what a day is. i also noticed...

You must be running above hull speed. I ve never burned that much at hull speed with any boat i ve run. Ex. 18 GPH with a 70 Johnson with 1400...
Pretty much no difference at hull speed where beam impact fuel burn more than LOA. On plane the heavier boat will use a little more fuel
At a 10 kts hull speed they ll burn about 15/16gph on plane at 18kts, I ll guess 50-60gph
My idea is to use two support frames in the platform straddling the existing main support and lift tubes. The new pistons will have to be offset...
yes that’s what they call second stage. They had another support on top of the existing and then a pair of cylinder raise the platform another 15”...
They have one yard in ft lauderdale listed as their dealer. Not too crazy about dealing with a single dealer in the country and a product from...
Metal prices have gone thru the roof. They have at least a couple of months wait time for pistons.
