In the last pic of the transom with the rudder sticking through it, the pieces of the transom/hull that are bent out look pretty thin to me.
I would consider resale as well. CATs are a preferred brand and while Scania's may be just as good, they might not be as well recieved by...
I see tow boat US and Seatow just using a bridle tied to both bow cleats to tow boats this size all of the time. I find it kind of odd that both...
It's been a while but that is the speed it used to run at, at 55-60 gph. Window open as well. But it had a lot of weight on the bow. a 13' RIB...
Yours is a lot faster than a 50' I used to run, but the one I used to run had a RIB, davit, 2 dock boxes on the bow. It used to do 26.5-27.2...
I agree, it's a good looking boat. What speed does it do at a normal cruise RPM such as 1950 or 2000 rpms.
I do a lot of ocean miles every year, 10,000 or more per year and have for quite some time. I've only seen 1 floating container in all that time,...
Terrific, usually intermittent electrical items are the toughest to track down.
I've heard Scania's are good motors but there is very little support for them in the US. The CAT C18 is a proven durable long running engine with...
I've had good luck with the Cetol marine teak color, 2 coats of that and 2-3 coats of clear cetol over it. That can easily be done at the dock....
It appears that the rudders were pushed through the bottom of the boat by touching bottom. I've met TJ from wicked Tuna about 10 years ago. He...
I've never seen dual rudders either. Those Wanchese one off builders do a lot of strange things from time to time. My guess is the single rudder...
Here's a weird one. A 59 year old mummified body of a German Sailor was found in his still floating but half submerged sailing yacht. Last...
I usually let them drain really good and clean them with degreaser and then give the 5 gallon buckets away....as buckets people seem to love to...
You got your answers on the first page. Basically, don't filter City Water. Shocking the tank/lines once a year (I'd say 2-3 times a year in...
Yes, your pans will go flying if you get waked enough on a glass cooktop. Searay puts a nice s/s grab rail around 2 or 3 sides of their glass...
LOLOLOL. That reminds me. Early on in my career I was a deckhand on a 160' Motoryacht and we were over in the Abacos and the standard deal was...
I agree, but then you might be stuck in the fuel dock that's dredged and not be able to get out of it to get back to deep water to leave. I've...
The slight chirping can be a carbon monoxide or fire alarm warning of low battery and totally un-related. I would check all of those. As for...
Why wouldn't you stay in Flying Fish marina? Much more depth, always have fuel and great service?
