I loaded a very nice Bennettau 48' onto a freighter for a shipping company, the boat was about 5 years old. The main engine had around 1100 hours...
7.2 Does not sound right for a compression ratio of a gas big block. It sounds too low and should really be 8:1 or better. It does indeed sound...
I hate to say this, but for weight, safety, and carrying capacity it's really hard to beat a Carolina Skiff. You can rig the interior just about...
It's sitting at Cable Marine (west).
Tell them No I can't shut off my generator, what do you think is responsible for providing the power for MAKING the ICE. hehehehe and, If I give...
And one of those old Onan single cylinder portable gas generators on the swim platform just in case.........You know I think they were around 8kw...
Absolutely, if it is from a good naval architect AND built in a good shipyard. Although I've seen a lot of hull #1's with both where the COG is...
If you saw 4200 rpm's and still had some throttle left, it doesn't sound like it's the props or being overpropped enough to destroy the v-drive....
Those are good numbers. I ran a 28 with Yanmar 185hp engines and it cruised at 20 knots and topped out around 25 knots. I think the Yanmar 220's...

One outboard doesn't have the torque to get something like that moving and not nearly enough maneuverability to get it from the New River where...
Most motoryachts and Sportfish 45' and above have to run the generator the entire time or be plugged into shorepower, or within 24 hours or so,...
It's about (give/take) $45k for something like a 42' Grand Banks to $100k for an 80' MY........
I'm guessing 75 gph (total) to push the barge at a hull speed of 8-10knots. With a 500 gallon fuel tank, 6 hours of run time, so maybe 60 NM...
It's been too restrictive and shallow the last 2 months for any Captains I know to bother taking it.......
Generally on Inland Waterways most yachts will try to hail on channel 09 because that is also what the bridges monitor and what most people keep...
I don't understand how the guy figures he's going to save ANY money over shipping it. He had his guys make the bracket, and modifications to the...
Treasure Cay/Boat harbor.....It is a larger island with resorts and stuff. .You can rent a center console and hit Nipper's on Guana Cay for the...
