You can't fight physics, and radars don't pick up everything. 1. Running a ferry (or any boat/ship) in reduced to no visibility makes it less...
There are a few yachts in that size range that have 2 seperate 30 amp outlets. It will depend on the panel on each boat. You won't be able to run...
That does not make it safe or prudent. The number 1 cause of ship accidents in the world, is keeping a schedule. Which is precisely why I am...
YUP, my trip from July 27th-Aug 9th has been cancelled.
Hull speed, no more in limited visibility is what I do and every prudent Captain that I know. There are PLENTY of targets in NY harbor and plenty...
The 40' Cabo is a much better boat in every aspect than the Bertram. Speed, build quality, ride, etc.
Check for another boat that is well maintained and running. It will be cheaper in the long run unless you're knowledgable to do all of the work,...
Last time I was at Boat Harbor was before the Hurricane but everyone was nice and we had no issues with service. Green Turtle and Hope Town were...
Are you in the witness protection plan or something? Anti-social? I like staying in marina's and being tied to a secure dock with shorepower and...
A sight glass!!!!!!!! Or these KUS senders recommended by Capt. Ralph, however they come in different lengths (have to measure tank height before...
Thank you for the info. I forwarded the website to the owner.
It sure as hell isn't practical!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'd need a full time experienced mate on that thing, just to keep the woodwork up.

They'll go generally anywhere from 6,000-10,000 hours and usually more towards 10,000 hours. Major overhauls are generally $60k an engine, maybe...
I'm supposed to leave for the Bahamas Monday. Monday to Bimini, Tuesday to Albany (Nassau) Wed or Thursday to Highbourne for the week. We all...
Not really, most everything will not work. However, you can get a Y and plug into 2- 30amps on the dock and that connects to your single 220 volt...
Quality of build is very good. Check as others mentioned. I worked on another Viking SF and replaced all of the deck hatches, all of the Balsa...
WHICH CATS??? will depend on the price. Which engine? Some CATS go 6,000 hours before rebuild, others will go 10,000 hours.
Neptunus did at the very stern, Just inches above the waterline. It added to the smell but I kind of liked it that way because you could see what...
That's all they were designed for. Bivens was a small producer and all of the custom SF guys looking for the highest top speed used them for...
