Yes, they should go 6,000 hours before majors. A good engine surveyor would be able to answer that question after surveying them and taking oil...
Whenever any yacht builder switches from building large sailboats to large yachts or vice versa, there are going to be a lot of upfront costs....
The entire right bank shuts down and runs off of the left bank with the cylinder cutout. Usually cuts out around 1000 rpms, but is based on boost...
I've crossed lake okeechobee in a 75' MY and many times in less. It's a very nice trip. I skip over Indiantown unless you enjoy walking miles...
No it won't hurt anything as long as you run it up to cruise a few times a day.
Which is what I do. But they could make it a hell of a lot easier. I took a trawler up to NY at the end of the season and stuck on ICW when...
They did a 50' express for a an owner that I know that turned out well. Will be interesting to see the speeds on the 64' will be.
If not for that, it would be VERY interesting to see what speed one of these boats would do with Arnesons or jets set up to take advantage of the...
A powerboater cannot convey his intentions, if the sail boater doesn't understand what intentions are. Such as whistle signals, having an...
It's not their specialty, just as there would be a learning curve if Feadship were to build a whitbread sailyacht. Or if you had a general...
I can assure you that Hatteras is not shut down and is operating. Currently has many yachts in build, and the delivery Captain you spoke to has...

Ahhh, Jim M..... I worked for him for a small period of time in 2003. He seemed like a very nice guy. It's amazing the people you run into. I...
Sportfish don't use underwater exhaust. At least I don't know of any. They come out the stern. Jim Smith was a giant pioneer in the speed game...
It's most likely where the recessed trim tabs will be mounted, obviously once it's off of the trailer.
109' and yes, Jim Smith is about a mile from the water and always have trucked them to the Hinckley yard I think it is to be launched, also need...
1. Aftercoolers and what maintenance has been scheduled on it. 2. Teak decks and if there's any left. Access to the engines for servicing....
The old 46.6 Bertrams had the toe stubbing deck fills where the cap was 3/4" above the deck level, I'm almost positive. And was a cap like on a 2...
For a trip that's all of 72 hours, I wouldn't much worry about it either way. But,It depends how you look at it. If you're doing slow speed with...
50 amp is too low for a starter, could be a small windlass though. Or the 1 side of a breaker panel possibly. Go to Ward's marine electric's...
