Are you the guy that did back to back seatrials on a 54', a 60' GT, and a 63 EB right after the Miami Boat Show with the Australian dealer on...
I think given your location, you could probably do well with timeless boats from a good manufacturer. The 31' Bertram comes to mind, for example....
This, they also make a carpet tape that may work, but it's not as strong as seaming it.....or take it carefully to a carpet place and they'll...
I agree, the varnished toe rail looks great and makes a HUGE difference.
I think they started using 12 volt for the generator and common electronics bank around 1975. Newmar converters were used for the gauges and...
This is true to a large aspect, but it's a lot more work. I've found is when you get over 70', the 100 amp shorepower cords are HEAVY compared to...

I dealt with a motoryacht built in China 2 years ago, they mounted the microwave sideways in the woodwork so that the door was inside the wall....
I would recommend charting both megayachts as well as yachts in the lower price range so that you can have an idea as to which size best suits...
Well, some of the larger Yanmars have had some serious issues, I think they were the 440hp series. I think Yanmar makes great smaller HP engines,...
