What rpm's do the engines reach at WOT, if the boat is a little overpropped, it will cause them to run a little sootier than normal at cruise...
I just ran a 50' Prestige with twin IPS 600 and the boat steered and handled fine on 1 engine when I wanted to maneuver very slowly, like creep up...
I've never run Z drives, but have always been told they need a good bit of getting used to in order to maneuver with them.
Divers here are monthly. Usually $2.50-3 per foot per month, plus zinc prices as needed. A diver is about 1/4 the price of haulout and pressure...
Those are right (boost, air inlet temp) where they should be. Yes, MAN has had issues with the waste gates on your style diesel, but your motors...
I really do not know, but probably 25-30% more. More zincs, fuel filters, oil filters, oil, drive oil, impellor, etc. etc. But also you have...
Sounds like you're right on the money and have 50 rpms to spare for more weight, fish, growth or whatever. What speed does she cruise at? The...
Unless you enjoy spending 2 days washing the boat, the Captain is not going to do it after running the boat. You're going to really need a full...
I would highly recommend offering a twin 900 option. I knot a lot of owners that would walk away because they don't want to maintain 3 motors and...
You're going to need a full time crew of 3, just to keep up with a boat of that size, maybe even 4 for everything you're doing. Captain,...
The new owners cook on the boat once in a while and they never use the lower salon either.....it has a nice sized table, settee, could easily sit...
That's a great story and one you don't hear too often. Most liveaboards don't go boating once they move on board, and most boaters don't use...
From owners I work for it is definately less likely to buy for about half of them. BTW there is a 63' Manhattan on the market with traditional...
That's because the lower salon is a COMPLETE waste of space and time. We have galley down and lower salon and upper salon on the 62' Predator I...
Putting out the anchor, washing the anchor chain when you bring it in and Launching, retrieving, and cleaning the dinghy just to go to dinner one...
Surface Drives = Arnesons (Arneson is the major manufacturer but there are other brands). With surface drives you can do hull speed and...
Why would you want to only stay in a marina 5 days? Everyone said most of the good area's to anchor in, not anchor in, ports to use and not use....
Yes, you can run those motors at 1000 rpms and then run them at cruise 1/2 an hour every 4-6 hours and they should be ok. I second Olderboaters...
In that size range it will be very difficult in many normal places/anchorages just due to the sheer size of the vessel. Some places it should not...
Spend more than they had coming in. Probably a combination of business debt, still have the property/building/factory overhead, employee...
