Not including dockage or fuel. I would say $50-75k a year. $75k a year when you factor in the longterm expenses that need to be done and pop up...
Trucking is less wear and tear considering you don't have a flybridge that has to come off. However, Chicago to NYC is a beautiful...
That's a good plan. You know Bertram also built non sportfish boats as well that seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle, but have their own...
Yes, I would check and/or change these.
At least here in the U.S. that size is completely dead and completely taken over by large Center Consoles. People would rather have speed, rent a...
Problem is. Bertram already tried a re-invented 54' the 57'. It didn't sell all that well. The 63' outsold it much much better. I think they...
Problem is, 58' sportfish are not selling right now. It's a dead market. The SF market that is selling like hot cakes really is 70' and above.
Try Marine Gear in Fort Lauderdale. I've bought rebuilt Westerbeke electrical ends with a new stator for around $2k from them.
They're both good boats and both drastically different. My choice would be the Fleming, but again at a much higher price. Based on looks and...
The Hatteras EX 45' comes in at just under $2 million when outfitted with everything. But they have no problems selling them. The Bertram seems...
I think there is a voltage regulator that is adjustable on those that you can adjust to get the voltage up to 120-125 volts, as well.
Well in the video, there was water on the floor in the cabin. My guess is in the picture of it with all the people on it, it got towed into shore...
What about mounting the life raft on top of the hard top? That is a popular place on many yachts.
Take them to another prop shop and have them checked. I've never heard of rotton props. But it's possible the boat had electrolysis or something...
Most people and builders use Sikkaflex. It is a 3 step process after you clean all of the old caulking etc. out. Step 1 is a primer, step 2 is...
They seem to be built ok. I've run a 50' Flybridge a lot. They're are built light and their ride reflects that. They ride ok but not great, the...
Also, i usually only see package units installed on flybridge locations.
Yeah, sounds to me like MTU is using that so they don't have to replace them under warranty. All of the raw water pumps on all of the motors I...
I like the C30's. They were based on the same block manufactured since 1978. Very proven motors, and they burn less fuel than the C32's even for...
The problems started around 2003 or 2002 with the boats coming apart, but definately before 2004. They swept A LOT of boats under the rug that...
