You anchor and wait for the wind to subside if you cannot dock the vessel safely, you always have options. A buddy of mine was in Hurricane Hole...
This method works perfectly on a boat with a relatively flat bottom, does not really work on a boat with a keel like the 53' Hatteras. What...
Yes wastegate/bypass valve where it re-routes the boosted air around or exhausts it from the intake track. It still puts some pressure on the...
52' Hatteras SF had some 8v92 TA's in them. 62' MY also. 53' Oceans had some mostly early mid 90's boats. 46' Bertrams had them. 61'...
Very bad for the turbo's, even if they have a bypass. The turbo's are putting out a lot of boost at cruise RPM's and when you chop the throttles...
No, we tow all of the time, the big boat breaks down the seas pretty good and the small boat is riding in the prop wash. I even run a 52' Searay...
Yeah, but Ocean put themselves on the map by having the fastest production SF's. That's what they were know for.....flexible flyers......In the...
You can get it on IPS, but it's optional. The boat I'm delivering and sitting on right this minute has Volvo IPS and the skyhook feature. I...
You do NOT want to use skyhook in your slip. It keeps the boat within 1 boat length or around 50' and sometimes does some strong...
Perfect, the hose is most likely 99% sure a 1-1/8" hose as all Rule 2000 bilge pumps use that hose size. You'll be fine with the check valve, and...
I've run 2 sets of 6-71 TA's, one in a 38' Buddy Davis SF and another was a 48' ocean express. They were mid 90's boats. There were also 71...
Hatteras EX comes in at $1.8-$2million, the last Cabo 44's were $1.1-1.15 million new.
The 92's were really hot rodded by the marinizers, most of them had very large injectors and turbo's in retrospect compared to 71 series. The 92...
Cabo didn't have a profit or sales issue, they had a build efficiency issue once they were moved to New Bern. It literally took 50% more Man...
Yeah, but you have to blame Ocean. They held the candle on the fastest production SF line till about 2000 when they failed to update and come out...
No, I know of several yachts towing them. I think Scout makes a better all around tender 30'<, a lot better seating arrangements and etc.
Yes, they have o-rings for the cylinder heads and if the coolant isn't changed religiously every 2 years they can leak and you need a rebuild. If...
Also pull off the air cleaners every oil change and check the turbine for end play (movement side to side) and check the inside of the housing to...
Someone would be MUCH better off buying an early 2000's 50' Post (or similar) with more modern power, much more fuel efficient and 26 knot cruise...
You'd have to, to keep up with all of the oil leaks! I had a 6t-354 and it was a great motor, but sure leaked oil.
