Blue Ghost- you're being ridiculous. What few news articles are out there always paint THE worst picture. Why don't you go on a cruise and see...
Anchor size is ok. I would definately want 2 generators on an 85' and both generators the same size/type so they share/use the same spare parts....
You know, everyone is making a big deal of this and it's a relatively normal voyage for a vessel this size. 1148' vessel in 30' seas is hardly...
Because what you've read about rarely happens. You would have better odds of getting hit by a drunk driver in your own driveway than any one of...
They do use offshore crew, many from the Phillipines and such, not sure how they screen them. On the seas, they are the police, and the cruises...
An old 13' whaler with just two bench seats (setup for a tiller engine) is light enough that 2 guys can pick it up and carry, at least my friends...

You're generally going to have to have one made by a company that does Tuna towers and such. They're very pricey.
On the 62' Predator I manage, everything in the bilges and engine room is easy to get around in and get to, engine room is mostly standup for...
Rick Obey once told me that Sunseeker buyers want real teak decks. He is probably the authority on used Sunseekers and sells a ton of them.

It solely depends on their size and location, but they shouldn't have an issue. Now if you're looking to keep it in the 60's and it's 90F...
Yeah, that's a little rare, but 45 degrees was pretty common. I used to work on a 97' MY that drew 8.5-9' and we used to travel mostly on the...
