The vented models take 4-4.5 hours for a load of 4 XL t-shirts and they're still somewhat damp at the end of 4.5 hours from what I've found with...
That is not true. I have over 10,000 NM's with a Hatteras that is a sistership to the one mentioned a 75' which hull speed was 10.3, hull speed on...
I've gotten to where I prefer the lower station on long ocean trips of 6+ hours at cruise.....less movement.....restroom is closer.....a/c, no...
Pacblue you have obviously never Captained an 80' Hatteras MY from that era. In any kind of sea above flat calm....running that boat on one...
Run this scenario by the Detroit Diesel dealer and they will tell you the exact same thing. Actually they'll say detroits were designed to be run...
LG and Splendid (mostly seen on yachts) make all in ones. This is a very bad idea. If you have 2 all in ones in dry mode, you will probably use...
Any marine engine should be propped to achieve WOT RPMs fully loaded. Running an engine in a manner where WOT does not achieve WOT rpm's it is...
An engine has a propeller curve where it will and should see certain loads at a certain RPM based upon it achieving WOT RPM. The newer electronic...
The engines are propped so that both achieve 2300 rpms at WOT. If this vessel was built with 1 12v71, it would have a lot less propeller pitch....
I've found that integrity and character are a big factor in the quality of work in some situations.
I wouldn't run them on one engine. The engine is operating in an overloaded situation (being it's propped based on both engines). 12v71TIs will...
Malcolm Elliot is Florida Nautical. But I've done over 100 surveys with him over the years and he's always top notch and knows darn near everything.
Florida Nautical surveyors and Matt Jones are 2 good ones.
There is no negative to going with Nibral over Bronze, only positives, besides the price.
Nibrals have a lot more forgiveness if you get into sand. A set of props is going to be on the boat for decades, I wouldn't skimp to save a...
What does your prop shop recommend? They would know the specs. Personally I would go with Nibral......but you might be able to find a good used...
I managed a 1987 63' Ocean for many many years. From the early 90's till 2009. It never had any structural issues BUT, we would have to put a...
Wood too. Some of the interior craftsmanship is still amazing. Merritt's have amazing woodwork. So do a lot of the other customs like Bayliss,...
I've never heard of any issues with ones in the 40' range. The only issues I heard of were 55's from the late 70's.
I've met several unhappy Post owners because they can't buy a new bigger one. hehehe
