I ran both a 50' Prestige and a 55' Princess extensively. The 55' Princess Fly is a very capable boat. The lower stations means nothing as...
It's a lot more complex than that. Let's compare the Prestige 55' and Hatteras 60'. The Hatteras is a lot more comfortable and better built in...
Here are videos from trips I've done in the Exumas. Taken and edited by the owners son with a djia mavic pro. The Shroud Cay one is my favorite....
I agree Navionics is horrible in the Bahamas and Aquamap is better. But I hate the shading of the Aquamap in the U.S. and prefer Navionics...
If you're running a steel workboat. I prefer diesels over gas outboards, however gas outboards have come a long way and I'd rather have them...

So then why is every store chock full of parts and goods "made in China", and it's really hard to find a quality consumer good that is made in...

Sounds like the old chevy days with forged cranks and 4 bolt mains on higher hp motors. LOL...... I haven't heard of any catastrophic failures on...
You can usually get most VSC parts from Viking yachts, they have a lot of stuff in stock. Be very wary of the teak as it's probably on it's last...
