Forget that, fresh oysters dunked in buttermilk and self rising flour deep fried......yummy.......hehehe
It's getting so deep in this thread that I'm going to have to put my Grunden's on. What does any of this have to do with day captains?
Look at the draft, 9'. That's pushing a lot of water around, a lot of wetted surface and drag, which takes some power, and seriously limits your...
I had 3 different months spread out in 2009 that were dead, but finished the year down under 10% from the previous year, since then I was up 20%...
Have you ever ridden in one? I had an 18 Donzi classic with a 350 vortech and the huge k-planes. Once you get past about 35 mph they start chine...
I did speed tests and it was much faster than my old 3g, at least double if not more. I don't remember the exact stats, but can do a speed test...
Check all of the drains in the flybridge, a lot of times the limber holes get plugged up, the water level rises, and runs down the wiring chases....
That sounds about right. The engine manufacturers consider cruise "rpm" to be 80% load, or 1950rpms with non-electronic diesels which is what...
I beg to differ. It's not what you make, it's what you do with it. If you're a Captain or Engineer full time on a yacht, or have a good...

Magnetic switches that they use for some home sliding glass doors and stuff should work fine IMO.
Actually I think Dockwise and Yachtpath both ship from Ft. Laud to St. Thomas. It would be an easy trip from there to run it the rest of the way....
So do the leading edge lightweight materials used to keep weight down. Kevlar, Divynicell, etc etc etc.......on a yacht like Alamshar, every...
I agree, but also felt they haven't kept up with the times for the last 5-10 years in regards to styling and engineering. They could've improved...
Depending on engines they used to run around 28.5 cruise and 32 top. I think the one with 900 common rails that I seatrialed did 34 knots...
I would just keep it tight against the floating dock with fenders. The boat gets less movement when the lines are tight, and less stress against...
Good to hear, what is your cruise and top speed now?
Thank You. But, that is what makes this forum so great, there are A LOT of people on here willing to help others on the forum. It really is a...
