Might be right about the T. I didn't necessarily mean it "stood for" (some kind of obscure acronym? whatever) multi-weight, but it just seemed to...
OK, I got nuthin'. :) Interesting one part of the label says T Engine Oil SAE 40 (T suggesting multi-grade) and the other part says T1 SAE 40...
Ah. Hadn't noticed it was the same link. In any case, what I was focusing on is that it appears Rotella T (not T1) and any straight weight...
See here http://rotella.shell.com/products/t1.html for Rotella products. T is multi-grade, T1 is straight grade, T5 is synthetic blend, T6 is...
Saw that article in a recent (I think) Power & Motoryacht... -Chris
When I say I'd chose pods, these are the major reasons. Maneuverability is only a nice plus, but that can be solved other ways... so that's...
Geez... But anyway, can you say whether that was only because of over-all size (or lack thereof)? Or instead, maybe that specific layout? Or...
What the heck's the story behind that yacht crash? -Chris
I would be more likely to buy with pods, assuming the rest of the boat fits, assuming no more than 2 engine/pods, and I'm thinking it would be in...
I don't either, really... and I don't have insight into real facts and figures (market wide, Viking-specific, Silverton-specific) to even know...
Not exactly. Maybe yes, but that might also depend on your definition of "manufacturer." Dr. Ira Trocki -- the guy who bought Buddy Davis, Egg...
Haven't had that problem. The original carpet sucked; had some black rubber backing that peeled off during the aging process, got ground into...
Nothing different. No changes to interior. Never had a fighting chair. After our very short bout of fishing in the Spring, we put the cockpit...
Our convertible suits us, and it happens I do "fish" a little. Only in the Spring, only trolling, only during our "trophy" rockfish (striped...
Might very much depend on what "engines" (and so forth) actually means for a given candidate. Good tune-up versus major overhaul versus complete...
Silverton -- under the new Egg Harbor Group management -- offers a new 36 Convertible. Although that doesn't mean they've cranked out more than...
It's 70" wide, and the back lifts off so it'll fit through doorways. -Chris
I can see that -- after the fact -- it proved to be an unsafe route. Not focused on that. I don't think there's a way to know if the Captain...
I know, and I was quoting him with that "safe route" (post 30). He seems to know the Captain thought he was following an unsafe route and did it...
So you think the Captain thought he was following a safe route? -Chris
