Well, 1 trip I took on fuel at Tidewater in VA, for like $3.50 and a few days later took on fuel in NY at $5.50.....it sucks, and I wasn't the...
Yeah, but I remember back in the "good old days" when the fuel was cheap and the Captain was expensive........ back in the early 2000's I was...
Welllllll, do what you're supposed to do with a 54' Bertram. Troll some lures!!!!....... good to hear that you're going to be able to use the boat.
Your boat is efficient at 1000 rpms and below.....or trolling speeds......12v71 TI's burn 6GPH each at 1000rpms, 12 GPH total, at 1000rpms you...
On that note, albeit with smaller accomodations, the mid 2000's 54' Hatteras SF are an EXCELLENT riding boat.
I've seen worse, but I agree totally. I used to run a 58' Striker that had shraeder bellows electronic air controls. It had 2 motorcycle...
Title it an expedition yacht for those that expedition less!
I ran a 48' Swift Trawler from Miami to Stuart a while back......we had 3-4' seas on our beam. The mate nicknamed the boat "The Swifter Wetjet"...
It wouldn't matter what type of yacht you buy, because the only way to get a yacht this size from St. Maarten to Cape Verde, would be on the deck...
Delta has been around much longer than you have. They build a good boat......I wouldn't rate them as good as Feadship or a few others, but I'd...
You're better off running a sportfish at slow speeds on both engines. 1 engine would be severly overloaded at each RPM point because it is...
Here in Florida it is indeed illegal. I forget the statute that they use for it.....could look it up if you're really interested.
Well, if you are big divers and big fishers, why would you even consider a trawler? It sounds like a Sportfish is the only thing to consider. A...
It really should not be that hard to find a macerator pump (if it has one) in a 36' boat. Tracing the hoses should be easy, they're a 1.5" hose....
Not safe at ALL. It is always wise to have a second person on board in case of emergencies, medical reasons, or even just plain fatigue. It...
A semi-displacement can have very good seakeeping abilities. It just depends on the design. Just as a displacement hull can have horrible...
I agree, you'd be very hard pressed to get a Westerbeke exhaust riser go more than a 1000 hours. I've seen a dozen or more fail.
A Westport is a rough ride in a head sea. Let's take a 112' for example, in a 6-8ft head sea you are slowing way down like 10-12 knots, and...
