Another thing to be mindful of, as I've done the Atlantic side of this route recently. Not sure how soon you're leaving, BUT many countries have...
I have never heard of such a thing as far as pleasure yachts go. Not a coop anyways. Most of your stops will be in Central America and things...
MTU stated that the cylinder head bolts had not reached max shaft length and there was no requirement to replace them. MTU asserts that these...
The Sunseeker is by far a much better built boat than the 59' Searay, 60' Cranchi and Schaeffer 64'. Sunseekers are a great sea boat (for a...
The Sunseeker by FAR is a much better built boat and much better sea boat than all 3 and by far will hold resale much better. You want best...
I have seen and run a few aluminum crew boats from the 1950's,1960's, and 1970's, and when I tell you they were run hard and put away wet, they...
Yes and yes, as long as they fit. However, I remember the impact being closer to 900 lbs and that would be pretty heavy up there. 11' whaler...
No, it's too heavy for a lot of designs. Steel hulls are the strongest when built properly. However, on a lot of motoryachts, they find steel...
Most yachts over 130' are all aluminum hulled (some steel as well on displacement ones). Westport was the first yacht builder to start making...
Almost, doesn't count.
I agree, but everyone runs them at 80% load, so that's where the fuel numbers really matter to most people.......
You can post the movies here, just edit or blur the "2 chaps" out of them. I believe I sent 4 videos so not sure which one didn't go...
It's a Westerbeke......you can hear it fairly well in the master stateroom on the other side of the bulkhead.....I'll take a sound shield any...
It's all in relation to HP. 1600 HP C32's burn 122 gph at 80%, 1900's are 168 GPH, 1800hp 16v2000s were 150 GPH.....2400 HP are 200 GPH......all...
Sounds like better cylinder heads that flow more air.
Probably around 160-170 GPH at 80% load for both engines.
1. I believe they are, but a quick call to a CAT dealer can confirm this and #4. 2. YES, any good DIESEL mechanic can, same with CAT etc....
Anything with a C in front of the model needs the aftercoolers changed every 6 years........regardless of new style or old style or etc. I had a...
A lot of yachts are in LLC's or Corporations, simply to shield the owner from liability. The one I managed was and the CA owner bought it and the...
I remember someone doing it, they drained and cut the old tanks to get them out, then had two tanks made with very short hoses joining them that...
