Hey Guys, I'm looking for a dock to rent long term for a 98' MY with a 7.5' draft and needs at least 1-100 amp single phase, but would prefer...
Because that is what people do on a forum. They speculate, the form ideas and possible conclusions, they brainstorm and come up with various...
I don't know about that particular boat or why it's "uncontrollable" at idle speeds, can also be that the builder got the trim too far foward and...
I don't know anything about Lymon Morse. But Michael Peters designed most all of Cabo's hulls and they rode great. He also designed many other...
I agree 100%. I would think the engineer(s) would be in the engine room or the observation room attached to the engine room and would phone the...
Hatteras has done solid glass windows on the front of the bridge and strataglass or EZ2CY on the sides/rear on a few models and it works pretty...
Yes, typically the black boxes are mounted on the top of the pilothouse from what I've read. Hopefully the black box is not compromised due to...
If the government wasn't trying to get rid of everything, we could have had the DSV4 Seacliff which was 20k manned certified to go down and get...
How is the smell and dry time between recoats?
The 53's were not as good of a motor and subsequently replaced with the 71 series and discontinued. They also weren't as stout. Ok, if taken...
If you want to go fast, rip those old,heavy,low HP 8v53's out and install modern 6 cylinder diesels that make almost twice the power with less...
Now THAT is a first. I've never imagined anyone would have enough balls to land and take off a helicopter from a 45' boat!!!! I could look at...
Where in FL is the 6bta boat? I might be able to stop by it and take a quick look if it's nearby. Or one of the other members could.
You'll have to go look at a few. I would think the 3208's would take up the most space. Cummins would probably we smallest width-wise and the...
The coolant pressure sensors have a tendancy to go bad on Man's
The cummins are good engines up until 330hp. The 6bt's are good. Once they're pushed to 370hp it starts shortening their life a bit.
3208s are not difficult to work on. But their cooling systems are borderline, so if the heat exchangers aren't cleaned on schedule they don't...
I don't know about access, but I'd much prefer either the 3126's or 6bta's over any of the other choices.
The problem is, can someone trust that the government will stay the same in the long term if someone invests a ton of money in a business.
I agree it's not a deciding factor by any means. BUT judging by the quality of simple body work and paint jobs. Personally I don't think they...
