Bayliner built up to 65' I think it was. Benetti warranty repair wouldn't be a challenge for a yard such as Rybovich to handle all of their...
I ran a brand new Benetti, maybe 2 years ago and had Benetti's delivery Captain on board. The lack of quality was very apparent everywhere and he...
Benetti's quality is no better than Azimuts.
It was the 58' actually and had an open flybridge with fiberglass hard top.
You're in the UK, have you tried calling the factory to see if they have any leads on who to use or recommendations on who to call?
Mine was a new Marlow. From my experience the Asian MY hull designs are the worst of the bunch as a whole in the under 100' segment in both...
I ran a new 56' at the time (around 2014) from Miami to Fort Lauderdale to load on a ship. It was a very moderate sea state with 2-4' off of the...
I had to swim to one in seas like that, in a life jacket and safety line attached to me, get in it, unhook it and run the center console back...
Jabsco makes a 4.5 GPM 32 volt freshwater pump. They make several actually, go to their site, but 4.5 GPM should be plenty sufficient for your...

The problems with your length to width ratio is that the weight of the superstructure will far exceed the carrying capacity of the hulls, unless...
No, travelers checks have lost their luster with most merchants because there were a lot of fakes. I never use them nor see them being used...
I value this a lot as well and I know some other delivery captains do also. Because if you're stuck fueling in the morning, then you get into a...
I agree that price is important to some, but you're in the minority of the boats that cruise North and South. At least with the yachts really...
I still buy them, but carry them less, but on some deliveries still carry them such as on slower boats when doing the ICW and trying to make the...
Waterway guide cruising guide. I like the way it lists what I need: Largest vessel accommodated, number of slips, shorepower, fuel, draft on a...
I do a ton of deliveries and I don't even bother searching for the cheapest fuel. On a delivery, I am looking for what inlet matches my maximum...
That's normal performance/speed for that boat. I wouldn't worry about the engines or performance. If you really like the boat, proceed with the...
