Jet drives are very in-efficient at slow speeds. At 1000 rpm's you'll be burning 15 gph (both) but probably only doing 7 knots, at 1950 rpms...
For over a week you couldn't even get out of my neighborhood due to downed trees and powerlines.
My protocal is different. I had 12 yachts I manage ride out Wilma in the water at their slips. 11 had no damage or less than $500 of total...
It's not Hype. I went through Wilma in Fort Lauderdale that's only 50 miles North of you. We had extensive damage. Boat snapped 2 pilings,...
Ohhhh geez. Tote just doesn't learn I guess. This storm is SOOOOOOOO annoying, one source shows the cone being away from South Florida,...
Portable gensets in that size, Honda is the way to go.
Geeeez, South Florida is awash in Boat crashes and weirdness..... First the 72' Hatteras in Palm Beach, then the 32' Seavee crashing onto the...
A boat without even 1 fishing rod? Sacrilege! The measuring tape works, but I've found with all of the angles and stuff sticking out, sometimes...
There are A LOT of variables. Cabo trucked all of them up to their 52'. BUT the bridge boats had the bridge off of them as well as props. The...
Go with Awlcraft 2000 so you don't have to wax it.
On road on the water or what? There is no such thing as cheap transportation. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys and in the end with a lot of...
Just lay a fishing rod across the hardtop where you can lay the rod verticle with a bobber on it and drop it down till it hits the water, then...
Cat,Cummins, and Detroit. Cabo is a very maintanence friendly boat as they all came with built in oil changing pumps and most items are easily...
Hatteras are built well, but in the ages you're looking I'd jump to Cabo over them. The Cabo's ride better than the Hatteras. More stable, much...
I don't think you need to take the engine off of the mounts. I'd rebuild it in place if I could. Perhaps a little more difficult to get to the...
Under 50' Cabo's have the best build quality, very good riding hulls, nice layout, just a great all around boat. I wouldn't touch a Bertram of...
Smaller than 50' I'd look directly at Cabo's
I would do the entire engine. There's a good reason the liner split and it's more than just a stuck ring. Either someone used the wrong liners...
I'm not a fan of the Feretti's. The low headroom and overhangs don't sit well with me. They perform and ride well. But on the older ones seeing...
If you are tinting the side windows, use 3M window tint and a very good grade of it.
