A heavier boat (planing boat) riding better is a complete fallacy from the 70's and 80's and so are keels which you don't see on any motoryachts...
Are you kidding? The Navy has had 3 major collisions or groundings in 1 year. The McCain, the Antietam, and the fitzgerald. The Navy cannot...
A heavy boat rides better than a lighter boat is a complete fallousy. It's physics, an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an...
I took a brand new 98' Benetti through Flagler Memorial a year or so ago with one span (which is narrower than Las Olas) with only a few feet to...
Yes, ride, seakeeping, and safety. And a newer Hatteras excels at all of those over a classic one. I get what you're saying, and I understand...
It's a great annoyance when you have just spent 10 hours running the boat on a delivery (day after day) and then have to spend an hour every night...
NO, ride quality is not debatable. Ride improved tremendously around 2000 with cad/cam drawings and tank testing and so forth throughout the...
They didn't get clobbered by the freighter. They saw it, steered their own ship erradically zig zagging and drove directly in front of the...
Nobody wants them and the right price is heading south because of their age, age of equipment, they now look very old, and they're a relatively...
I manage and maintain a 62' Express that had a midnight blue gel coated hull. I had to have the hull compounded and waxed every 3-4 months, here...
I don't, I do know they switched from 32 volts to 24 volts on all of their yachts in 1987. Many years ago I maintained a 1979 58' Yachtfish and...
You would need someone actually trained well enough to actually look at the radar and understand WTF they were seeing. The lack of training and...
Age and whether people are retiring or too old to get on and off boats, has little effect on the used market. The economy has every effect on the...
The difference isn't nearly as much anymore if any in the costs when you figure that you have to replace the heat exchangers every 6 years on CATs...
The older princesses were ok, but not great. They liked to melt the shore power breaker to the bus bar with their euro trash electrical strips...
Didn't know a Post 50 was a motoryacht between 40-75ft!!!!! :D:D:D
Olderboater hits all of the points well. However, I have to strongly disagree with Pascals comments on Man's. I've managed a set of 2007 common...
Hatteras...…… Sunseeker...….Riva...….Searay….. in that order...…...
Carver is known for not putting enough hardener in their gelcoat which is why it causes the wax to soak in and not last and it's horrible even...
Well magnetic North has been slowly changing for quite some time now, it's not like it just happened yesterday. It's just that it has finally...
