That's not true, lots of American yacht builders building commercial boats in that size range. Just building bigger in yachts. Burger built a...
I would recommend the Detroit diesel oil from the dealer for 2 strokes, it really isn't even anymore expensive than Chevron.
Overloaded or not, I NEVER run full throttle unless I am very close to home. If anything is going to break, it's going to break at full throttle...
I would NOT do this until right in front of his home port in case anything does let go, no sense putting that added stress on everything that far...
I agree, you are not going to get in your holding tank and clean it, nor should you need to. The raritan additive is a good option. Another...
Wastegates are fine...... 25/26 lbs of boost is what you should be seeing....You're just heavy with the tender....why come back with full water?
They shouldn't. The Keyway keeps the props locked to the shaft so they can't turn except with the shaft.

I agree with CaptPkilbride, but at the same token doing it once a year might not shorten their life that much. I would also try 1950 with the...
As a bonus, he can do 1/2 of the Great Loop to get it home instead of trucking it. Striker looks like a very nice boat, how it ended up in MI is...
There's also one in Marathon with twin cummins for around $98k. I think I'd rather have twins but have a friend that has been running an open one...
Check out the island hopper 30'. It too meets what you're looking for and is designed to carry the weight whereas the Albin is not. They're...
I think you can do much better than a 28 Albin for what you're price range is. The Albin is just way too small. Load it up with 4 guys and 4-8...
What's your price range?
I still think everythings fine and you just were overloaded.
It's true, it's much cheaper but he has been researching re-powering and talking about it for a while now and really wanted to re-power.
