Most all sailboats are self righting. If the keel is heavy and the boat designed to self right itself, it will. I would rather not be on it when...
I meant to say Mobil makes CAT oil as well, simple typo. I don't use Rotella anymore as I've seen it break down far too soon and in D.D. 2 cycles...
I just ran a brand new one. A 54' Hardtop, I was very un-impressed with it's quality. It was delivered with no bed spreads, no sheets no...
Yeah but how long have they been built in Brazil? Not that long comparitively speaking. Most of the Italian parts used in Italian yacht building...
And the US lien holder goes after the owner for Fraud, and he ends up in jail.
Italian yachts are much like Italian cars. Look beautiful but spend half of their time getting fixed. I knew an owner that had 2 identical...
To each his own. If the propellor is installed properly, and everything is correct, there is no situation that will cause the nuts to loosen on...
I've seen it done as cheap as $60k with very good access and not needing a whole lot of extra's. I would say $75k is the norm. 3412's should go...

Keys
Why not just get a Honda 2k portable generator and a big battery charger and just run the generator for 3-5 hours every couple of days and charge...
Insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Something is not right. I'm almost willing to put money...
EVERY D.D. guy I know uses the Detroit Diesel 40 weight oil from the dealer which is the same price as the Rotella and Chevron, and recommended by...
If that were the case, the 3 bandits could've stripped anything they could've possibly wanted off the boat in the 5 hours it took them to get it...
The engines should be checked for full throttle RPM with BOTH of them at full throttle in gear. They are propped to achieve 2300 RPM's at WOT...
