I've had a few really calm trips through there. I wouldn't say it's that bad. I'll tell you one thing, the stretch between St. Martin and St....
Magnetic switches that they use for some home sliding glass doors and stuff should work fine IMO.
Actually I think Dockwise and Yachtpath both ship from Ft. Laud to St. Thomas. It would be an easy trip from there to run it the rest of the way....
So do the leading edge lightweight materials used to keep weight down. Kevlar, Divynicell, etc etc etc.......on a yacht like Alamshar, every...
I agree, but also felt they haven't kept up with the times for the last 5-10 years in regards to styling and engineering. They could've improved...
Depending on engines they used to run around 28.5 cruise and 32 top. I think the one with 900 common rails that I seatrialed did 34 knots...
I would just keep it tight against the floating dock with fenders. The boat gets less movement when the lines are tight, and less stress against...
Good to hear, what is your cruise and top speed now?
Thank You. But, that is what makes this forum so great, there are A LOT of people on here willing to help others on the forum. It really is a...
Generally the pilings in the middle of the slip are to assist you with pulling in and out, so you can lean on them while coming or going without...
Try talking to Cecil Meadows at Hatteras, he is the sr. construction manager. If this doesn't work, I know the owner of a 58' Hatteras YF that...

Actually the 2 stroke DD's are more fuel efficient then the 3412's, at 1200rpm's or less. Over that, it's the opposite. All good info. The...
Yes, we went straight through with a crew of 4. I think we did 3 hours on, 9 hours off and took shifts. It took us 2 1/2 days at sea. It's a...
Depending on the size of the hatteras, the stern may be ok for the batteries. Keep in mind that wind generators are very noisy. I don't think...
I have extensive experience with a yacht very similar to yours and do a lot of deliveries. I've put 10,000nm's on a 75' Hatteras MY with 12v71's...
You can go with the clear Urethane from Awlgrip and it holds up really well, I think the name is Awlclear. I would just put 6 coats of...
In addition to what other people are saying. BUT, also keep in mind if the temperature drops 20+ degrees the fenders will become very soft also...
Yes and no. Fiberglass fuel tanks have been eaten through. Luckily few gas boats were made with fiberglass tanks. So far they have not added...
