The only time I have seen CAT's overheat at lower RPM's like that is if they are in a seriously overloaded situation (load factors 80+) at those...
The story sounds less and less real.
I don't know about crossing, however having a 10% reserve is NOT nearly enough on a trip like that. You are calculating speed and fuel burn on...
If the fitting is bad, drain the tank, fill with a lot of bleach and water, let sit with the deck plate off, suck out bleach and water, drill out...
In the beginning they had issues with aftercoolers leaking into the motors on the 3116, 3126, and 3196. They came out with updated aftercoolers,...
I was told that they dredge and maintain area's of the ICW based upon how much fuel is sold in that area and that was how they calculated usage....
I would look at an aft cabin motoryacht. Something like a 37' Silverton in the late 90's can be found in that size and has a lot of liveaboard...

I am not too familiar with the 40' OCean SF. But Oceans were built lighter and came in a bit cheaper than say Vikings, Cabo, Hatteras' and...
This is the same person and correct. He had hull number 2 of the sc122 on order under construction and saw hull #1 launched and decided to get...
I really like ABT if you're going to go Hydraulic. I like sidepower if your going electric.
Do not just float, Anchoring in the gulf sounds like a very uncomfortable night. Find a nice anchorage in the bay, anchor with your buddies,...
I agree, there are not too many yards up that way capable of lifting really big yachts and ships.......
In the Med it might be possible. Here in the States, I cannot think of any marina's that you can get anything more than a golf cart down the...
You might be right and I might have gotten the lengths mixed up.....I know the Moonen the owner went to after dropping the San lorenzo was around...
Quite possibly the reason I've never seen or heard of one around. While it sounds like a lovely idea, I can't think of hardly any marina's that...
