Is there currently a Full Displacement MY that is not capable of performing your 3 key criteria?
Anything Full Displacement should be considered an Expedition Yacht, especially if they are willing to work on Fuel Capacity. Except for the...
Kind of brings me to think about the boats on "Deadliest Catch", the majority are aft pilothouse but then you got Sig Hansen on the Marco built...
I did an internet search and came up with the following attachment. It essentially is a rebuild kit for series 71 and 92 to make them compliant,...
That's an oversimplified version of what went goes on in the emissions world. First of all, EPA will set emission level requirements and the...
No need to yell, and look, I like factual information on these boards as much as the next person, but you are wrong. JP5 is a refined kerosene,...
Not sure what facts you have on this matter, but I disagree on your statement. Military time between overhauls are significantly less than any...
The Post 46 has a relative deep forefoot along with shallow deadrise at the transom. Coupled with aft fuel tanks, it can certainly highlight...

Really, you think this is a California thing? I have been on boats where the noise is not "soothing" and you would have to plumb in enough white...
Why not - certainly some hulls slap more than others, and having a berth at or near chine level can make it it difficult to ignore. It can be like...
I always perceieved the 3160 (60's & 70's era) as the model that transitioned to the 3208 Natural on the Marine side, don't recall the 1160 unless...
Definitely looks like a SF bridge with a Tournament helm layout. Also the foredeck looked like it had cleats/lines for a possible liferaft next to...
Point taken, it is not fair to speculate on my part on future performance, I was trying to respond to the "complete independence" portion of the...
Having the financial strength to offer customer support (warranty) and successfully executing the support to the customer's satisfaction are two...
Today's Hatteras / Cabo issue is not the result of employee wages, it goes above to management level decisions and lost market share. Made in...
It's hard to throw general numbers around this quite peculiar and somewhat dis-jointed industry. I have been involved with and seen the numbers...
