I agree, but the problem is the rebuild parts went through a phase of very questionable to little quality from 2006 to about 2009. Injectors,...
WELL, diesel costs a lot more in Europe, so it must be better!!! :) Other than the price I don't know the difference between the European...
I don't think the fuel could differ that much.....We lost 200 rpms. This was a new boat with the new Man 800's. Salinity content possibly and...
I would take the Egg Harbor over the same vintage Carver anyday.
I would think Chapman's is somewhat of a plus because it shows that someone's (dedicated) willing to pay for the schooling and take the time to go...
I don't know the specifics of the water. BUT, I ran a brand new Arneson boat that was built in the med. The owner seatrialed the boat in the med...

Forget the props, just mount some turbines off of an airbus on it!!!! :)
I'm no Naval Architect, but I'm pretty sure that with a true displacement hull, there is no amount of horsepower that would get it to plane. I...
Well, at this point it sounds like you're next step is to pull/test injectors and do a compression test. A lot of motors do run fine the next day...
There is a grab rail along the bow the length of the cushions. I have mixed emotions. They've made LOTS of sportfish with no bow rails and those...
It's a real shame everything that has gone on. One owner's yacht was supposed to be shipped to somewhere on the west coast of South America from...
