I have had pretty good luck with the vaccuflush system over many years with many different yachts and it does work well in the under 70' range....
Most of the Great loop is a little over-exaggerated. I just did Ft. Laud to NY, up the hudson, Troy to Oswego, Welland canal, Lake ontario, Erie,...
I ran a 2005 57' Bertram SF back when it was new for a while. It was the worst riding 50-65' SF I ever ran. A 45' Cabo would've ate it up in a...
Another one I can add is that I am 6'3 and many US Captain's and crew are tall. Make bunks that are long enough. It is also very nice to have a...
I would recommend CAT C30's or C32's depending on what you're looking for. The MAN's will be a little quieter and consume slightly less fuel....
I don't know exactly as I always run motoryachts and not sailboats. But I know it is over 53 feet, but believe it is under 62'. 56-58' if memory...
He is going to take it over to Bimini to scuttle it next to the concrete freightor that is half broken up over there!!!!!!!!!
According to my experiences in MTU/DD warranty support and cost of maintanence I will never EVER recommend an MTU/DD product to any of my future...
Again, I agree there is not enough info. We need to know HP/model of the 671's and RPM @ 8 knot hull speed. I do know that 12v71TI's that I run,...
I was offered a job running a crew boat in Louisiana about 7 years ago. I forget the details exactly but the offer was very good. It worked out...
Not true. When 28 Searay dealers formed MarineMax, they issued 4.8 million shares at $12.50 per share forming Marinemax. Brunswick then bought...
Marine Max is a Brunswick owned company as well and represents a large part of the US sales territory/market for Searay, Hatteras, Boston Whaler,...
I would stay far away from sunseeker and princess. Quality is not the best, access to maintanence items are a bear. The Azimut is the best of...
Every agency I know of charges the boat owner a fee to place a crewmember. They never charge the crew from what I have seen although one I know...
When I quoted that I did not realize that my text ended up in your quoted part and it was not intentional. The 92 series have a much higher...
The heads and turbo's were redone because they were worn out and needed to be rebuild. I don't know if it ever dropped a valve. The motor was...
Speaking of the devil. I personally know of a Cummins 555 that went 32,000 hours in a lobster boat without ever having anything in the short block...
I agree with NYCAP. I too wear shorts and t-shirts a lot of the times and there are sometimes instances when it is unavoidable to not get clothes...
Truck 92's were not hot rodded like the marine engines were. Especially the Johnson and Towers engines where they threw tons of boost at them and...
8-71's will last a long time between rebuilds as will the entire 71 series. But in comparison to modern 4 stroke diesels they don't hold a candle...
