No, from a floating dock they're fine. Step right on the swim platform and right up the steps to the aft deck. I told the owners not to put a...
I manage and run a 2007 62' Predator with man 1100 common rails. Most of the boat is built well and well engineered. The boat is extremely dry...
All of the ones I experienced needed the turbo's rebuilt (some were the 2,000 hour service, which is the same as the 1,000 hour but the engines...
