I've run 1 set of 10v2000's in a 64' Hatteras MY on a 9 day delivery north on the ICW. They ran good and didn't use a drop of oil when it came to...
Yes, both the 70' + 75' hatteras' that I run are also run by their owner/families without any crew on-board. I usually deliver them or...
No, not a problem with the proper tow eye on the center console and proper tow harness. Keep in mind you will need an additional person to unhook...
I have overseen some rebuilds on diesels where they needed to be bored (cylinders). Most have not needed to be bored. Some Detroits and such...
Well, anything is possible. I ran a 38' Bertram with 555s that had 8000 hours without a rebuild or anything and they passed survey and ran fine,...
I run a 75' Hatt at 1,000 rpms 90% of the time....(since fuel prices went way up a few years back)..I burn 1.5 GPM (or less) at 10 knots, at 17...
Find a good survey with an infrared camera it will show any water issues in the coring. I manage a 2001 wellcraft coastal 37', the boat has low...
In a smaller boat, I know of a lobster boat around 40' that has a cummins triple nickel and last I heard was at 31,000 hours with nothing done to...
I will run Detroits at 1,000 rpms and then every 4-6 hours bring the boat up to 2,000 rpm's for 30 minutes to clean them out. According to several...
I agree with this entire post, with your size and budget the Hatteras is also the way to go. Burger is a better choice then Broward but older...
I have run and run a 75' Hatteras MY extensively with 12v71TI's. At 1,000 rpms both motors burn 12-14 gph combined. At 800 rpm's they're at 8-10...
I much prefer a captain's chair with armrests like a Stidd chair. It offers more support and control in a rough sea and is more comfortable when...
From my experience CAT repaired all of the troublesome 3196's with updated parts, aftercoolers and such under warranty and all of the 3196's that...
I usually use D'Angelo's in Fort Lauderdale and they do great work. However, it might be easier for you to find someone local that you can take...
You could have a few different issues going on from what I can think of. How long has this issue been going on? Electric fuel pumps should solve...
Yes, some yacht design companies can set you in the right direction as to where to place fishboxes and such. Keep in mind this also determines...
Well, the transom. Keep in mind it is not supported from the starboard hullside to the port hullside. You have the marlin door and flip over...
I would see if you can find and take a look at a Vicem sportfish in your area or a charles Jannice. They are both sold here in the US market and...
My favorite is when I got boarded and they kept insisting on seeing the holding tank and seacock for the holding tank over and over again. I...
A few misconsceptions here though in your theory. The interior joinery *should* be a lot weaker then the foredeck of the vessel. Therefore the...
