The most impressive RIB I have run was an 11' ZAR with a 50hp yamaha 4 stroke. It rode great and did over 30 knots.....
The Formula my friend maintained, the 45' was an 2006ish I think IPS boat the owner bought new. He traded it into Formula for a new one of the...
I have maintained a 48' Formula 2006 for a long time now. I'm not a fan of how it performs, it rides way bow high, and we put blocks in the trim...
All of the center console prices are outrageous these days. Funny thing is the 28' Outrages sell for about the same price as the 25's when...
Quite possibly. The Oceans can be a little scary in a following sea. The more weight in the stern of the boat the better, full fuel makes quite...
Thank you, that's what I needed. I'm guess it's with the fiberglass hardtop.
Anyone notice what the price is "boat show special" on a new 25' Boston Whaler outrage while they were at the show? I have a client looking for one.
I haven't been involved with any of the newer Azimut builds. But have been involved with plenty of the older ones. I'd recommend Sunseeker or...
I've never liked the Miami Show. It's just too spread out and takes way too long to go between the Collins show and the Omni/Sea Isle which is...
Another thought if you go the inflatable route and removing the motor/gas tank. You could put a re-inforced eye on the brow and use a block and...
I took some customers down to the Collins show on Friday with their boat. They had a good time and a lot of foot traffic. I tied up along some...
I've usually seen boats repowered pick up 3-4 knots by going to new 4 cycle engines versus the old D.D. 2 cycle engines at cruise and top speed...
If you're going RIB with a tiller outboard, you don't even need a davit if you're willing to remove the engine and fuel tank, they're easy enough...
They have to re-do the entire concrete structure. In area's where salt water/air isn't present it doesn't seem to effect the rebar/concrete...
Why not just find a new(ish)9' whaler or 11'?
This is the point I'm trying to make. Also, even at night there's always a good enough load, when you're on a trip every freezer, refrigerator is...
Cruises are great for this, you wake up each morning and are at a different island and can see a lot of islands in a weeks time and choose whether...
I'll clarify, on most yachts with a large and a small generator. Let's say a 65' yacht such as the Searay L series....Main generator is 20kw and...
unfortunately the website to your links is blocked out so cannot access them.
I have seen it on a bunch of yachts and the small generator NEVER gets used. The only time I'd want one is as a 3rd generator line a Northern...
