I wouldn't bother spending the money putting that on a 20 year old Westerbeke generator. Fuel flow is about 1 GPH on a 20 kw on a 24 hour basis.
I run somewhere between 100-150 different yachts a year, probably closer to 150 different yachts, from all different manufacturers, every single...
The boat should have come with Arneson surface drives. I used to manage/run/maintain a 59' Baia with 2-760HP 8v92 DDEC's which was underpowered....
I've run other Uniesse's. They too were unremarkable. I have run over 50 Bertrams in my career, a lot of those built during their "heyday" in...
I would guess this and if you like the FSBO owner boat, just deal directly with the seller.
Bertram brand, yes as well. Even the early Bertrams. The 54's rode ok but were nothing special. What was special was that Bertram had...
Based upon HOW the boat was built in regards to plumbing, electrical, machinery and etc. I would absolutely make a decision on the entire brand....
This, and the paint is around $8 a can. I believe it's rated for around 500F.
Skip Luhrs, their quality is low. I'd go for the Cabo 35'.
This. There IS a city ordinance that doesn't allow overnighting behind a house or condo building if it doesn't have a pump out installed. You...
I used to maintain a 2001 50' Viking SF with 1050 man's. Boat ran like a raped ape at cruise, 37 knots. However, lots of smoke and vibration at...
I have pictures of her on her side that I took about a month ago. Pleasure vessels could go in and out of the port as usual but had to keep 150...
cat recommends changing the aftercoolers every 6 years, regardless of style. I had a 2015 C32 that had a leaking aftercooler that ate 2 cylinders...
I really like paper charts for planning purposes. The two major issue I have with chartplotters is: Many of them don't show the normal routes...
Age of motor? Aftercooler leaked, saltwater went into oil? Possibility.
The ones I recently saw on a 2015 Princess, had a cutout where the lockwasher rode over the key way and was locked into place by the keyway and...
I took delivery of a new (then) 2014 55' Uniesse and delivered it around 1000 NM's. We had a million major issues with the boat and I do believe...
They usually don't change oil on these large ships. Generally they run the oil through a centrifuge to get out contaminents and use it forever...
The Caterpillar spray cans are cheap, coverage is excellent and the finish comes out very nice. It's what I use many times on various brands of...
I like SeaAcrylic then EZ2CY IF you have a flat place on the hardtop to attach it to in the open position and don't have to bend it when opening...
