Driving thrill at 35 kts? You're having a laugh, Captain. Don't confuse boats capable of going fast(ish) also in somewhat rough seas with boats...
Now you're talking. Well, I'm not sure I'd pick a Bering among trawlers, but the logic makes sense. And interestingly, for the "mini pocket...
I sort of agree with that, but only because as I previously suggested the AB is a boat meant for fast cruising, not for driving pleasure - of...
If you're looking to go fast, you'd better fly. Leaving aside the fact that even 45 kts is hardly a speed for going anywhere fast, speed on the...
Which is, if I may ask? You are making me curious because I can think of European boats that in some ways I would even prefer to the ones you...
I'm no expert of the differences through the year in the V65, but by 2006 the 1300 V12 was already phased out for the CRM series. That's why...
I believe they used to fit 1300hp MAN engines on that boat, in the early noughties. Which were the most stressed version of the old V12 block,...
That means either no antifreeze at all, or a totally useless one. Replace all of it with a decent one, using the right concentration. No rocket...
With the chain hook that I posted a few months ago in this thread, you can grab the chain by hanging it overboard with the lines in your hand. It...
Aha, I see. I didn't consider this in my previous comment. In the situation you are describing, it might as well turn into an opportunity to make...
Here it is.
By "close sets" of waves, do you mean a few waves completely different from those depending on the sea state, (as typically happens with...
By whom? If you know of anyone who made tests proving that cat A boats can withstand the applicable sea conditions (or also cat B, C, etc. for...
Excuse my bluntness, but am I understanding correctly that you bought that (beautiful BTW, congratulations!) vessel and you are planning to use...
Simply because the 64 replaced/evolved the 62, using the same hull mould. Interior and deck layout are more different than you might expect from...
I agree with all of that, including your wife's view: the 14x40 Fujinon certainly isn't great from a handling viewpoint - not only for its weight...
Good to hear that. I love my small Navigator 7x30, and it's by far the bino I use more regularly even if my main tool is a stabilized 14x Fujinon,...
Are you positive that they didn't actually replace it with a new one? It's surprising that for them it's more economical to rebuild something so...
Bingo. BTW, many folks are attracted by express style boats not so much because of speed or better handling, but rather for the "open air" appeal....
Looks familiar? :D [IMG]
