I agree, and the 54' Bertram hull is only so much. The 57' gains a pretty flat additional 3' of running surface in the transom to help with speed...
Yes, antifreeze. Also Hatteras likes to use 2 resevoirs, one in each Engine room usually mounted on the outbound wall, they look similar to a...
Other food for thought. The Mid 2000's 57' Bertram was essentially the 54' hull stretched, and probably a bit lighter, but would cruise over 30...
Actually there is a late 90's 54' Bertram over in Texas listed on YW that has rebuilt Cat 3412's in her in the high 300's. That would be a good...
I don't think the C12's would have enough torque. Honestly I would stay at 1000 hp and not downsize to 800hp. That hull runs so much better at...
It's a real shame the ICW is so darn shallow up in those parts. You should have 8.5 under you at low tide. You almost have to navigate it at...
I use one on the Sunseeker and it is wired to one of the displays, but the picture is kind of dark and honestly it's hard for me to focus on the...
Was this the boat that National Liquidators sold a few years back? I think it was hull #4.
I've seen the same. I think it's a poor casting.....
In at least half of the installations I've seen they keep the engines in the same location or close to it and run a carbon fiber shaft to the pod...
You can try polishing them with nevrdull which will take the green off and make them shiny. In the future you want to wipe them with nevrdull...
ID'ing it is easy. A white Marlin has much different Pectorial fins than a Blue or Black Marlin.
YES. The Nav. light is only certified by the USCG if you use the bulb and wattage that it specifies. The also goes for using the wrong wattage...
I would install a seperate battery charger as well. With the charger/inverters if you lose shorepower and the batteries get below a certain...
Yeah, I think some members need their mouths washed out with soap.....hehehe......but make sure it's environally friendly soap....hehehe
True, but I've found that when the valve seats are hammered by bad valves that are made by a bad material, it just shortens their lifespan....
It would be wise to change the valve seats as well with new ones, instead of trying to lap the old seats to the new valves.
I've found with running lights, that it's easier to change the entire fixture with one that is designed and comes with LED.
Dawn and Orpine together, not harsh? Very harsh actually. Try the Aquatech boat soap. It takes black streaks off and does a great job and isn't...
Sunbrella is not going to breathe and navy will be a lot hotter than the stamoid you're replacing. On a boat like a 50' Searay with a navy...
