I agree and feel the vessel first rested on the rudder and the weight and speed of the vessel bent it.
I load on average 2+ yachts a month on various freightors (Yachtpath, Dockwise, Seven Star). This is most likely what happened with the...
The quote by that captain is totally false. How many yachts travel at low rpm's for days on the ICW because of bad weather and such and they...
Any man that is getting paid or compensated in anyway to run a vessel is required to be a licensed Captain. A licensed Captain is solely...
I don't see it as being possible to stuff a 63' in a 3-4 foot sea. Looking at the damage, what if the anchor locker drain was not sealed at all...
I just run the vessel, I am not the owner. But the boat is located in the Fort Lauderdale area. I just thought I'd run it by him, if you were...
I just saw the video, Thank You. I am completely in shock after seeing the video in entirety. The entire foredeck is just gone, yet the...
I have run several sets of 12v183's one yacht had close to 3,000 hours, the others had 1,000 hours or less. One had as low as 400 hours. They...
Yes and no. The same questions that are found in the 6 pack license are also found in the 100T and 200T, however in the 100T and 200T there are...
I wasn't priveleged enough to see the video yet, but. This is a great theory, but where is the Tug and Barge. It would severly effect the...
Do you have any interest in a yacht in the Southeast, 75' Hatteras?
I would highly recommend getting yourself a very reputable hull surveyor and an engine surveyor.......(the engine manufacturers dealer is not a...
I have been following the Bertram thread and a lot of ideas, knowledge on build process, coring, and other aspects have come out of it. It has...
Well if the boat was insured, he would get re-imbursed one way or another and the insurance company and Bertram would be duking it out in court.
and no warranties implied or expressed? hehehehe
I think this is the exact reason the boat came apart. Too much MEKP in the resin causing it to be too rigid and brittle.
There's no need to personally attack the guy. From Buizilla's post, it sounds like he is saying, he has physically seen (with his eyes) more on...
It's possible to find water intrusion, but you'd have to know that boat and what additions it's gained since the last haul out.......but not a...
I think the pictures are in a totally seperate thread......search under bertram pics.....I think the link was around page 22
Well, the weakest part of any lay-up is where you have 90 degree bends. Sharp edges break a lot easier then soft bends. It's also where you have...
