While I really like the 50' Post of SF's from that era and price point. It has a good ride, was fast enough and efficient, but could be a bit...
I'm guessing the cams were advanced because 2 different Detroit Diesel dealers INSISTED on setting the injectors at the marine height 1.96" and...
I will say it again. It's low voltage. But low voltage across the engine controls, which is causing it to shut down. Also make sure the engine...
I ran a set of Covington TI's which were 765hp. The chart posted is for only 70 Liter per hour injectors. The Covingtons I ran had 110 Liter per...
Humphrees do help them ride better and they provide stern lift. BUT, Arneson boats DON'T have an issue with tracking. I've run several and they...
At 1000 rpms they burn 6 gph each. At 1900 RPMS, around 40 GPH each. Providing vessel achieves 2300 RPM's WOT.
Does your boat have the plates on the bottom of the vessel. If so you shouldn't need sea strainers. except for the a/c.
Does the wiring harness go through the engine controls, seafire system is another one, those are the two systems I can see both engines being...
Also check the gear harness connections as well as all harness connections, but sounds like a ground issue or loose connection on ground.
Do a search, there was a post on Gulfstars here a while back. I think the consensus was they were well built boats, but most of them had a lot of...
How old are the batteries? The other fuel solenoid should be getting a lot more than 21 volts.....more like 25.6 volts. I run a Sunseeker with...
Neptunus' are a good boat also but a bit too big. I think 55' is the smallest they have built in recent years.
Why on Do you have ANY idea what it will cost just to rewire that entire vessel, then you have all of the interior, the machinery.....etc..........
I wouldn't touch a stern drive on a boat that sits in saltwater year round. The saltwater eats the stern drives alive.
Those are the ratings.......E rating is fast patrol craft and fast yachts with low load factors (this would be the highest HP version of that engine.
Both are a step below a Searay. I delivered a 50 Prestige many miles, MD to Key West, Key West back to MD. It's slow at a 21 knot cruise....
Call Cable and see if they have the mold and if you can buy the mold or rent it......THAT would be the easiest remedy would be to find a mold and...
I've never done one but yards do it all of the time. It will extend hull speed and possibly planning speed on a boat like yours as there's more...
Yes, but boat engines are water cooled. On most of the diesels the coolant temps come down when you idle (or never come up all of the way). The...
Why on earth would you want to buy her? The cost of repairing that vessel would far exceed what it would be worth and who would buy it after...
