I agree, setting up direct tv on a yacht is a royal pain and they always want you to change recievers most of the time are custom mounted in the...
I have not seen an automatic free fall windlass on your size boat, and for good reason, it's really easy for the chain to start free falling too...
So seeing blue water on all 4 sides with nothing to see for days on end and getting bounced around is a blast?
It's either a plate or fuel fill type fitting. It's either on the transom near the gunnel, or could be at the back of the house under the gunnel....
You'd be better off keeping the boat 220 volts, 110 volts won't be enough for that size vessel unless you went to 2-30amp cords..... just get a...
There should be a blockoff plate on the outside of the boat at the back of the house usually, it may look like a fuel fill fitting......and the...
It was high tech for it's time and I believe they're still using the DDEC system today in pretty much it's invented form. Heck they've been using...
What performance numbers are you getting out of her? What gear reduction, and props are you running? Fuel burn?
What kind of cruising are you going to do with the yacht? What locations??
I am NO expert in wooden yachts, but the bow looks like a Grebe.
I was told MTU bought DD strictly for the DDEC system. I never heard the Series 60 was one of the reasons. I run 150 different yachts a year and...
I spoke to a guy who operates high ferry boats in the USVI's, they have a set of 8v2000's with I think it was 3000 hours on them so far. He said...
No issues getting parts for a long time....you can widely get parts for the old 2 cycle DD's and they last made those in 1998.
I disagree with everything he has said also and I've run many pod boats well over 10,000 NM's. My sentiments and experiences mirror Olderboaters...
There should be a manufacturers sticker on the assembly the trim ring fit's onto. Check that.
What voltage is it? AC or DC? I like the headhunter pumps and if your pump is DC they're the only game in town for high volume. The variable...
The C18's are very good motors and you could run the boat at hull speeds most of the time and just run it up to cruise for 30 minutes every 6 hours.
Yes, the series 60s are very well regarded in tractor trailers. However they're also at the 600hp rating or below in tractor trailers. They're a...
Yeah, but a hell of a lot less deadly. A lot of professional boat photographers are using drones now instead of helicopters. I've done several...
All in all the Hamptons are pretty good. They seem to use good US pumps and engines and they perform ok. They seem to be built strong but have...
