Purchased quite a few new boats without issues, all surveyed prior to acceptance, all by quality builders or, when smaller boats, reputable...
What is a "Captain Survey" or a "Prop Survey"? I get a primary survey which is hull and equipment by a professional surveyor, not a captain, and...
I would just mention one thing. You mentioned Searay and Galeon. I hope you're not confining your shopping to Marine Max. There are plenty of...
That's why we stuck with 300's as the early 350's had issues. Today the 350's are more dependable but not when we bought.
To me the issues would be dependability and the ability to get service wherever you are. Then the question of "why" comes into play. If I was...
And the Miami fire Pascal mentioned above: It was a 20-30' boat under the Miami Causeway. 8 people aboard, jumped overboard, 1 was injured....
A few thoughts in this Euro styling vs. Hatteras etc discussion. There is no universal consensus on what a yacht should be or how one is used....

Here's an excerpt from another model that shows the tinkering and logic you often see with Marlow. She has an additional 200+ gallons in fuel...

Unfortunately too slow for us and too small for the OP's boat. His boat has twin 1900 hp so FPT may be great but not fit his needs.
Some of us are more conventional and our primary use is in the Americas. I'm sticking with MAN and MTU. We have both and very pleased with both....
Yes, you are very consistent in showing your bigotry.
Maybe you buy Sunseeker in the UK.
We love MAN engines. Performance, weight and space, and quietness compared to CAT.
There are performance bonds available depending on the builder and country but to have gotten one on this build with all the parties it ran...
It's difficult to find the answers. Letter of credit is one approach. Insurance of performance is another. I greatly prefer a contract and money...
Interesting that as part of Gulf Craft's Superyacht series, the Majesty 110 certainly has a lot of characteristics of a much larger boat. Nice...
We also have Asian American friends and the ridicule and abuse they've been subjected to as a result of the constant mislabeling and accusations...
And ultimately the only way to find out if they were effective is through an intense and thorough sea trial and that likely requires an offer and...
