I remember going to see the hydroplane, jersey skiffs etc race their as a kid. It was a great place.
Well, considering how many Searay's I've seen that have skidded across the tops of sandbars at cruise speed by their owners, I would expect most...
I have not seen really any issues with v-drives being less reliable. The early Searay MPM/ZF v-drives (stand alone with a seperate transmission...
That and how clean (fuel/air ratio, atomization)the motors run on cold startup, normal operation (and operating temps-coolant), and how they're...
I would consider Neptunus on your list as well as it is also a good boat and falls somewhere into the middle of that mix.
At a 50 hour change interval I wouldn't switch to Synthetic. You're looking at over double the price in oil. What oil temps do the motors run...
I should really hope that there is not any unburnt fuel in a ZF gear or something is seriously seriously wrong. Generally diesel oil turns a dark...
I've run both boats extensively. I took one 58' Searay from Fort Lauderdale to Conneticut, another from Delaware to Toledo, OH. The searay is...
I don't think you will gain anything by going to Synthetic and changing your oil every 50-60 hours is overkill 1 year or 100 hours is a good...
I don't know much about them other than they bought a lot of the old Bertram molds and were building boats from them in Australia.
What were sodium and iron levels?
Imron was initially invented or created as an airplane paint or paint for airplanes. The yachting industry just picked it up and started using it...
I really cannot see about complaining about a 10% tax. It's really trivial compared to what a lot of other countries charge to import a yacht....
I wouldn't change the fuel type. I would stick with a gas generator. Yeah diesel is more reliable and better on fuel, but then you're adding a...
It looks like you got a phenomenal job. The reflection and clarity is beautiful in the hull.
If you re-read what I wrote. I wrote that I step foot on 100's of different yachts a year. Not manage 100 different yachts a year. I manage and...
One thing you should also consider is paint availability. You can even find Awlgrip products on West Marine's shelves. Whereas you have to go...
I never said that I am a painter, an expert at painting (it's been over 15 years since I've sprayed anything with a spray gun), or whatever, but I...
No, the reason I use them is warranty and they work. IF you ever have an issue with say an Awlgrip painted yacht. The first thing the rep. is...
I've used all of those over the years. I've found the Aquatech 501 is a very good soap, very effective, and not harsh. Meguiar's a lot of people...
