Run the boat at 10 or 12 knots (whatever your hull speed is which is probably around 10 knots), conserve a lot of fuel, and enjoy the...
Well, see what it takes to have Caterpillar turn them into the 1150hp Acert's. If it is possible, then that should get you what you need/want in...
It depends on the boat. On boats that barely stay on plane when they're new due to how much power they have or hull design, it can make a big...
Do you think he'll sell the boat for $1.75 without the mooring if I give him a 12' boat in trade???? hehehehe
I've seen it a lot on diesel trucks. I have not seen anyone do it aftermarket (other than the dealer such as Pantropic to bump it from a C rating...
It did happen. Bottom was cleaned before the intial seatrial, as there was a seatrial/survey which included hauling the boat. 11 layers of...
Yes, you can pick up both speed and rpm's by peeling a dozen layers of old bottom paint off. Just look at how much a gallon of bottom paint...
I saw the boat yesterday leaving the show and was behind it coming in Port Everglades and passed it. The sunpad cushions are above that little...

I don't think the fuel could differ that much.....We lost 200 rpms. This was a new boat with the new Man 800's. Salinity content possibly and...
I would take the Egg Harbor over the same vintage Carver anyday.
I would think Chapman's is somewhat of a plus because it shows that someone's (dedicated) willing to pay for the schooling and take the time to go...
I don't know the specifics of the water. BUT, I ran a brand new Arneson boat that was built in the med. The owner seatrialed the boat in the med...
I too had the pleasure of sitting at Western Branch's marina and having a rebuild done on a 12v71. I agree that they did very good work. Sitting...
It really depends on the size of the Expedition yacht. Obviously on the smaller ones many of these items are impossible to fit or just far too...
The lines are a touch off for a Viking. Also it's easy to tell she's aluminum by the typical aluminum bow rail and pulpit.
I don't know......I'd say the Nordhavn 46' would be an expedition yacht. It's just with the smaller the expedition yacht, the smaller the toys...
Yes, the energy from the combustion process turn the fan blades inside of the turbine pushing thrust out the exhaust portion of the engine and...
I agree, the magazines promote it, and the new owners want it. Especially with interior furnishings. A lot of things they're putting on yachts...
