I am guessing that the captain hugged the wrong side of the bridge, not thinking about what is over his head. That bridge does not go completely...
A "fast trawler" is not going to be a displacement hull, it cannot be. I am talking about displacement hulled trawlers exclusively, which I was...
Most all traditional trawlers are displacement hulled (OA's, Marine Traders, Kady Krogens, Grand Banks). Sure, it's simple math. The length of a...
24 days, 21 days underway and probably average of 11 hours per day. I was ready to go home and not see another boat for a week. Yes, the inlets...
Exactly, and most of the loopers I see are doing hull speed or around 8-10 knots and most of the time, in something that will do 20 knots WOT +/-....
Yes, but your traditional trawler won't even cruise at 8 or 9 knots, most won't even cruise at close to that. (displacement hulled 60'<).
Another question, have you checked the bilge to make sure it's not holding a lot of water? What is your location? If you're in cold water, it...
I have experienced the Sunseeker gelcoat issues and that is true. Aside from that I've found the Sunseekers to be well built, they perform and...
I have seen them leak between the plexiglass and the hatch many times as well. Usually though the dogs in the plexiglass keep that pressured down...
5200 bonds and stays put when the surface is prepped correctly (so does 4200 but it's just not as strong of a bond), there shouldn't be that much...
Given what you've said, I'd pull your deck hatches and re-seal them to. I had a Cabo 35' many years ago, had a leak up there when the owner ran...
I like kvh products and haven’t had any issues with them.
Yes, displacement is the amount of water that is displaced by the vessel measured in volume, which you then multiply by the density of the water...

Get a good flashlight and have a buddy spray area you think are leaking for 10 minutes at a time, start at the lower areas and work your way...
Is this happening at the dock, or after running? If it's happening at the dock, it's probably coming from a deck hatch and running underneath the...
Which is exactly what I said in laymens terms. I'm a bit confused on how your statement contradicts my statement, unless you just couldn't resist...
Liam have you ever maintained a Hatteras Motoryacht or Sunseeker and what are your thoughts on those? Given your location it is much easier for...
Sorry for the hijack. Displacement is measured in volume of water a ship displaced, in order to get (derive) the weight of the ship. Obviously...
Displacement is the amount of water that is displaced measured in volume, not weight.
