No, you just can't win with your business or business plan. It will not work. It will not be successful. You can try, but honestly will fail...
Broken ribs will also make breathing difficult. I had a crew member break two ribs and we were about 200 NM's from the nearest shore in 8-10'...
There is NO WAY the boat will pay for itself. Not even close and not at anywhere near the prices you are planning on charging. I've been in this...
Yes they are big skull and cross bones stickers. But the paint above and foward of the skull and cross bones is peeling. I don't think there was...
There is NO WAY you can turn a profit with that business model, those rental fees and that type of boat. A Captain goes for a minimum of $300 per...
With prop speed though, there is very little margin for error. Prep has to be perfect, and application has to be done in under 3-4 minutes....
Typically anywhere from 3-4. I would guess 4 with guests on board, but 5 crew at the most. My guess would be Captain, Mate, Chef, Stewardess....
I've found that prop speed doesn't really prevent growth very much, nor does it fall off like they claim by running the boat. It's normal setup...
13 miles offshore is a lot deeper than 170'. Several thousand feet deeper.
Yeah and you can make good time on the ICW up that way in that size boat. I ran a lot of the inside down this year on a 50' MY and was making...
Yeah but in the small sump boxes like Hatteras uses, you pretty much have to use a check valve and elevate the switch about 1/2 an inch, or use...
I agree with this totally. Especially on a delivery where you're encountering multiple weather patterns along the way, even scenario's where a...
It was the first time I ever saw the boat. Mate was already standing on the dock, boat was stern to, engine room access was through the aft deck,...
Yes, I have done both with a mate. The difference was getting to our destination at midnight in one scenario or spend 20 minutes on fixing it....
Well, IMO speed had everything to do with the damage to the boat and sinking. If they were going through at 8 knots the damage would have been...
I agree with this as well. There are very FEW times that I've run boats single handed and of those times they're smaller ones. The largest I've...
Yeah, Rule still produces the 32 volt Rule 2000 gph, which a lot of 32 volt boats have as bilge pumps. They're a bit much to be used for most of...
I really do not know the answer as to whether they raise fish or not. Very few Sportfish have pods, the only 2 I can think of were 40' Cabo's and...
I inspected it for Kafue in Stuart,FL before he bought the vessel along with 2 other 53's. There was another one that I liked better, but needed...
It surely doesn't look like a very wide pass to me. Especially one to be blasting through in the dark at 40 knots.
