It's done. Totaled.
That spot on the river is incredibly hard to hold in place, narrow with a lot of sideways current mixed with a Captain not prepared for the...
They are still unable to get to the plant to check on things.
The sailboat is toast and that must've made one hell of a noise. The Good news is the OA is new or nearly new and should have good insurance on it.
I'm a big fan of the Garmin electronics (chartplotters, radar etc.) but NOT a fan of their autopilots. Give me a Simrad for autopilot any day of...
Back in early 2000's, I knew a Captain that ran a brand new 60 or 65' Bertram SF with a tuna tower. They had Merritt's take the tower off and put...
When shopping for slips, City of Las Olas Marina was a lot more reasonable than Bahia Mar. So was Loggerhead Marina in Hollywood and was...
$5k a month is cheap in Fort Lauderdale for that size boat.
if you have vaccuflush toilets, you absolutely need them in most cases as the toilets pump so much air into the tank so quickly and it blows it...
It has nothing to do with a flared bow. It has to do with airflow over the hardtop and sides of the house creating a vacuum which sucks the spray...
Well, those are some of the differences in the build quality between an Ocean and a Hatteras, Viking, etc. But that lead should go to a solenoid,...
They should cut power from the batteries (like a battery switch), via a solenoid usually mounted on the front bulkhead of the engine room. Most...
I believe that Ocean used solenoids to disconnect the batteries. Aren't there what look to be a main breaker for each battery bank on the main...
Coolant expansion tank is on the front, top of the motor on MAN's, the pressure sensor is usually upside down on the bottom of that tank.
I wouldn't want the tower, but it looks like a nice clean boat. Low hours. I'd change the aftercoolers if they haven't been changed in the past...
Not sure about your area, but here in South Florida $100k for a good Captain +++ health insurance, expenses, living on board? Cost of living is...
Pretty sure you ran a 54'. Great ride, yes they do about 10 knots at normal idle both in gear. Low idle is 8.5 knots both engines. LOL. I've...
Size and location?
Yeah, they never made the 50' with the GT designation, that would've been a 54' . They made a 54' mid 2000's prior to the GT designation and...
The boat runs 21 knots at 36 gph and only holds 346 gallons, so it's only got a 165 NM range at 80% of capacity. So start adding a lot more days...
