I think NYCAP is referring to engines generally found in yachts which would generally be an "E" rating in most of them. You should cruise at 80%...
Woooops, momentary lapse of reason. I meant to say if you draw too many amps for the shorepower cord, which many yachts are capable of doing if...
I usually have about 1 boat a year that will melt the shorepower end. This usually happens if you draw too much voltage from a 50amp cord....
Yes, 80% is what most engine manufacturers recommend. I prefer to cruise at 1950 rpm's usually if the engine top rpm is 2350rpms. This usually...
It's actually not as bad as everyone seems to think. Removing it could be done in 2 days with 2 guys most likely. It depends on how much stuff...
Yes, some have lower trailers than others. Sometimes you can tilt the bow up, to get the helm lower in relation to the trailer......stuff like...
I have also melted a shorepower cord at Miami Beach Marina, but don't remember what the voltage was. It does sound like there are A LOT of fires...
I would look for a bareboat out of Nassau, Bahamas if you're going to do it that way. The Exumas are my favorite part of the Bahamas and Sampson...
That Palmer Johnson is a very very nice boat in person. I saw Four Jacks at Atlantis a while back and it was a very sharp looking yacht
I think we've all been a source of the cause at one time or another.....I've had an empty plastic bag blow off of the deck, or accidentally...
Viking has always built a well built boat. I'm not familiar with the 35' but it should be a good choice. Visibility from a lower helm is...
Actually, nothing of any substance should grow inside the tube. In order for growth you need waterflow or current, and sunlight. I don't see any...
Thats all well and good, but it takes a long time to make a major course change happen on a 280' barge
Return the seals from where you bought them, drop the shaft and replace the entire assembly with a PSS brand or other. On another note, if a...
Interesting. The tube is going to have more resistance then the smaller diameter shaft, but it also is going have less resistance because the...
I've bought those seals for a Cabo before and that was the only boat manufacturer I've run across that used that brand. Yes, the seal is $180 and...
The prices on electronics like a handheld GPS like that Garmin are pretty much the same from store to store.......Outdoor World in Dania Beach, FL...
I agree, I would say to take that chart, run the vessel and see if it achieves the same cruising speeds (which I doubt after so many years, boats...
The 48 is essentially a stretched 41' and you gain a stateroom and more room. I've never rode on one, but heard they're a little wet and usually...
I would say paint it in a bright white, I worked on a 97' steel MY with a canoe stern and it looked nice in bright white and it really accentuated...
