I have'nt ridden on both the Hatteras 60/63, I've RUN both of them and put both of them through their paces completely, including backing down...
I've already answered the questions, you've failed to read the answers because you're so hell bent on trying to disprove something 50 people in...
If you call going 22 knots going fast in a 54' Bertram at cruise with 12v92's drinking 120GPH......The same size/era Jim Smith could still do 25...
That boat is very very impressive. 67' Tribute with only 1000HP Cat C18's 36 knot cruise at 85gph, very fuel efficient for a 67' SF at 2.4...
But see the speed is a by-product of efficiency. The faster they are the more efficient they tend to be and the less fuel burn they tend to have....
In this case, it was probably full of ice if they were headed out fishing. In my experience and the water flow figures Marmot published, and what...
No disrespect taken. Merritt's has been coring counter tops for at least 5 years but they still can't seem to find a 35 knot cruise speed....
to Bill106- I think everything has been discussed via Bertram, the company is out of business and there will be no new information unless someone...
Bertram replaced the same owners boat twice. He had a 57' that oil canned and ripped all of the stringers from the bulkhead, they gave him a 63'...
How are we talking about Sailboats in a trawler VS. motoryacht posting?
The shafts on Bushwacker were actually 1.5". For a really really good read with a lot of history and info that reads almost like a novel, go to...
I agree......the biggest problem I see, is corporations can build their boats even better than they do, but everything comes down to cost versus...
In addition to everything above, walk the entire boat barefoot, see if there are any soft spots anywhere on the bridge deck, the covering boards,...
Not a Myth, it's fact and was proven. Most of Jim Smiths boats in the late 1970's and 1980's did that with 8v92's and were in the 55'-60' range....
Call Man North America and ask them. They're located in Pompano Beach,FL. I would find a MAN trained mechanic and have them do it. There...
That's true, but when the boat builder is owned by the founder who generally is/was passionate about boats, the true passion was building the best...
Yeah, but your first instanct is to check the engine room. That boat went down in a minute flat. It takes longer than that to figure out it...
Pretty much. They tried to Italian-ise a sportfish. If Italians were known for building SF, they wouldn't have been buying so many US ones.
No. Who would even look at the data over and over again. EGT temperature gauges at the helm are more than enough monitoring in this situation....
At this point, I would call in a MAN certified dealer or Man certified mechanic and have them fix the issue. It's not going to be cheap, that's...
