Agreed. I was referring to fuel alone, which is a concern only for those who underestimate (or are even unaware of) all the other TCO components.
I'd rather say that newcomers thinking of buying are more scared than owners, 'cause anyone with some previous boating experience isn't so scared...
I can't actually be positive on that, but yes, AFAIK Baudouin is only focused on marine applications. Another manufacturer I can think of, whose...
Yep, entertaining indeed. I was wondering if the flat earth theories or the chemtrail poisoning would have been next. :D I don't think KRS posts...
KRS, this coming season I will be enjoying my 14th year of becoming sea-based 24/7, so I have a bit of first hand experience on that - with just...
Ok, that's two builders (Azi/Ben is actually the same group) out of about two hundreds. Not exactly a statistically significant sample, in my...
I defined the E-type design "gorgeous" in my previous post, and I have utmost respect for it. But at risk of coming across as a fanboy of anything...
LOL, I didn't say "some other forumites would agree" for nothing! I'll tell you what, why don't you name those that in your opinion don't?
I'm not familiar enough with these engines to tell for sure, but is that even possible? Most diesels I came across would hit the high idle...
Now, that's a blast from the past! :) The GTV particularly, back in its days, is a car I would have loved to be able to afford. I still have in my...
Pascal, don't take this personally. And I'm well aware that you will think I'm biased because I'm Italian. BUT, this sweeping generalization of...
Great idea, thanks for sharing it. I might even copy it in fact, if you didn't patent it! :)
As I said in the original post, I've only used that "Y" connection in some marinas, and based on basic observation rather than any calculation....
I've only just seen this thread now. Nice vessel, but it made me sad to see in this video (docked right behind her) an even more remarkable...
Do you really think so? Ever heard the French expression "c'est le ton qui fait la musique"?
Why, is there any comparable US built boat that you would have recommended to the OP as an alternative? Possibly one where all the above bits...
Good suggestions from Pascal, right on the money vs. the original OP question. Personally, I'd rather want electrical diagrams regardless of where...
I was wondering the same, because BTW both Nordhavns and Flemings are also built in Taiwan - when not in mainland China, as it happens for many...
It appears that as I'm writing there are no less than nine tugs on the scene, the largest being a 67m AHTS. Plus a couple of German CG 80m...
Bingo. That's what would concern me the most, in general. Even more than the oil analysis and all other particular defects, none of which are...
