This is totally out of hand. It's totally obvious first mate is overly ticked off and lashing out. Here is my take on it. I highly doubt...
I agree with most of this and I also take care of a 48' Formula, which is a good boat, but over-engineered (too much stuff added to it that's...
Rule super switches are rated for 20 or 30amps (I forgot without looking at one.) So a 15 amp draw should not effect them any differently than a...
Except in real life and the South Florida heat and sunshine, it does not work. Clear coat, when baking in the sun bakes right off of the varnish...
I use Collinite Insulator wax, and it works very well on varnish (as well as s/s, anodized aluminum, strataglass, ez2cy and more.)
I have come across this also. Also look at the weep hole in the bottom of the raw water pump and see if salt water is weeping out of it.
8v71's are extremely fuel efficient if you keep them under 1000 rpms, and if you keep them at 800 rpms, they're twice as fuel efficient as...
I really like the schooner. If I was starting with bare wood, I used to use about 6 coats of jet speed, then start laying on layers of schooner...
Most of it is caused by the actions of the younger generation. I'm only 34 and consider myself the exception, financially for people my age, as...

2. A lot of boats have the float switches direct wired ( of course there is a circuit breaker involved in case of a short), and only have an...
I agree, the other thing a lot of people really forget about when going bigger is the size/weight of the docklines and fenders. You get above 60'...
You're going to want to still use float switches to keep the bilge pumps automatic. I would leave it well enough alone. I wouldn't want to add...
I had the same thought actually. I would avoid TNT and go with......whats the name of the one SeaRay went with....... General Solutions....I...
ahhhh, it's no big deal. I was just giving you a hard time. 42' Henriques, 40' Cabo FB, 52' Cabo express "chasseur" (in and out), 76' Lazzara...
Take a look at a 48' Fountain Sport Cruiser, it's fast and might have the outdoor layout you're looking for.
If you can get the boat acceptably to the dock with traditional drives and a bow thruster, the pods aren't going to do anything additional for...
The boat was 5" from the dock, I was talking about the height. Jumping down from 5' above the dock........
