$100k sounds very high to put a 4th stateroom back in. I've had friends add crew staterooms in sterns of boats that came with or without them,...
Every marina in the US is going to have died offroad diesel in their tanks. There used to be a large difference in sulfer contant 500PPM...
I agree. But there seem to be much less long term boat owners turn yacht owners and do it yourself types of guys that like the simplicity of...
Agreed, but the problems with older SF (and MY's) is you can't get them financed. The cost of ownership and fuel is high compared to what it used...
They haven't finished re-doing the varnish???
They are most likely busy setting up for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, perhaps you've heard of it (just messing with you). But, yes they're...
My mind seems to be going first.....I still have perfect eyesight and hair.....LOLOLOL
I was always told by DD mechanics to bottom out the pickup, then back them off 1/2 a turn.
A vaccuum gauge on the supply line at the racors or just after the racors would show if there is a restriction on the fuel supply. As for the...
I worked on a megayacht once......170', and the ONLY fire suit had a waist size of 31", most of the crew couldn't even fit into it.......
No, I'm guessing it's winterized every year in climate controlled storage, because getting it south for the winter would require going the...
A lot of people wouldn't mind. However, you could put the 4th stateroom back for probably $30k, which is no big deal considering the price of the...
It depends on the engine they use. The generators still need openings for intake air etc. BUT, a lot of it depends on the motor they use. I...
I think it was fiberglass fatigue as well as a blockage or excessive backpressure. Which could've been caused by a few people standing back there...
Was the Beaver stuck in the exhaust and that's where the explosion came from? The beaver thing doesn't make a lot of sense because you'd think...
A vaccuum gauge on the racor (which is good to have anyways), or anywhere in the fuel supply line will tell you if you have a fuel starvation...
It's about right for the HP. A set of C32 acerts burns 140gph at cruise. The one with the 2000hp 16v2000's cruised at 35 knots, 1950-1970 rpms...
Both manufacturers are good boats and well built. You cannot go wrong with either. It depends on the type of seas you encounter. Vikings will...
I'd look at fuel filters first. If its been a while, change them both....(primary+secondary). Then make sure it's actually getting full throttle...
180 GPH for both engines is pretty high for 2600hp 16v2000's????? I know the 2000hp version burns 150gph (both) 75gph per engine at 80%. To...
