I really don't think you'd have an issue holding that and yourself up there (to unhook the hold downs). Like you said it's the weight of 2 guys.
You're dreaming. On an 85' you might get away with 2 crew but really going to need a minimum of 3 with the Yellowfin involved (at least on trips)...
Generally gas inboards have a much shorter lifespan than diesels, say 1000 hours versus 5000 hours. Gas engines have a lot more components on...
USCG believes the accident happened at full speed (so around 60 mph), here is some footage and video of the boat upside down on the jetty, the bow...
If you're heading due South and that close to the beach (say parallel 1/2 a mile offshore) you would not see any lights in the background, at high...
Yes, the larger ones have lots of issues too. Some has been rectified by the crew on the larger ones, IF the boat has had a good crew. But some...
I've run some sets of 12v92's that didn't smoke on cold startup. But it's boats that were used, used often and run at cruise often.......a week...
I would highly recommend a Captain for a year at least. There is a lot more to just driving a 66' Sunseeker (which would be a great choice given...
Hydrofoils usually have a ton of draft which limits them in MANY ports. And also if the wave height gets over a certain point, they can't go out...
They must have been doing closer to the 50 knots, unless nobody could swim. It's a shame, but tons of people think they can run really fast at...
I got a 16' donzi after the whaler then an 18'. I agree it was mainly a lack of training. But kids will be kids. Kids will do a lot of stupid...
The town manager reported the news in an email (I guess to the newspaper). It didn't state that he got an email from the insurance company....
So did mine, I was 13 and had to take the USCG power squadran course first with him, and it was the keys to a 13' Boston Whaler. Not his yacht.
I ran a 46 Maxim, it cruised at 25 knots. It had cummins, but not sure which HP it had in it.
The HMS Terror was the ship responsible for bombarding Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor in 1814 which spurred a certain lawyer to pen a certain poem

On either set of 92's make sure the coolant (G93) or water additive (novakool) has been changed every 2 years or 3 years at the very very most....
Well any idiot that would give his teenage son permission to use a $1.4 million yacht deserves the outcome.
It's true 1200 hours on 20 year old motors is only 60 hours a year.....or some years of just sitting, it can be very bad also. I would find out...
I agree with Bamboo. I wouldn't feel it prudent to pull out at 4:30am in the dark, or into Cape May at 9pm in the dark. UNLESS it was like Port...
