Not to mention, do you know what 10,000 lbs of batteries would cost every 3 years to replace? A diesel inboard sailboat is pretty darn cheap to...
Add a Tuna tower to a 43' boat with funky handling characteristics to start with and you are in for a treat.
Not sure, but on the newer ones there are two tanks, one tank was under the cockpit floor and the other tank forward of the engine room.
Honestly, I think I'd shy away from a 43' with a tuna tower. I think the ride in a following sea may scare the heck out of you.
You don't mention the size, but it's probably larger. I don't think a Non-US citizen could set up an LLC in the U.S. One boat I ran was under a...
Yeah, I don't think there is much difference between these 2 years besides power. If I was going for a 50' Post, I'd try to go newer and 820 MANs...
Yes, there are some crappy brands of stabilizers that have been introduced over time. Those POS air powered aritsu POS's and their giant air...
Hi Zud, I sent you a conversation on here and have done that trip before and am available.
Captholli, I do agree with you and your assessment on seakeepers. They REALLY shine at rest and slow speeds of 12 knots and under (hull speed)....
The problem is the way you guys get around to telling the guy you need more information and his best choice would be to hire someone knowledgable...
I use SAE 40 and have for over a decade on all gears, unless the gear asks for something other than conventional oil, like some of the smaller...
A drunken sailor??? :eek:
I don't know of any Captain that work for that rate on that size boat at all. The only person you will get for that in Fort Lauderdale will be...
In all honesty, given your speed seakeepers would be the most logical choice. They REALLY shine at hull speed and at rest. As for fins, perhaps...
2018 Expedition will come with a diesel as an option and the EL is the same size as the Suburban with better interior seating storage.
Yes, use GFO packing when you do it and you'll have to rarely touch the stuffing boxes for a good long while. It's amazing stuff.
I agree, and recommend doing a rebuild in place before ever trying to get them running in their current situation. If you are able to get them...
Cats ride very well UNTIL the sea gets to a height that it hits the top of the tunnel in the center and has nowhere to go. I've experienced that...
Tri-RAIL uses the I-95 one. I agree 100% with Olderboater. I do not see All Aboard Florida being used by many people at all. It's stops don't...
Take the air box inspection covers off, it may help when you go to bar them over.
