I would never take an entire yacht apart and spend 3 months retro-fitting engines on a maybe. Why is someone selling perfectly good running...
Fuel burn not withstanding. The 92 series go a lot less hours between rebuilds compared to the 71' series. I was qouted by a DD authorized...
Legally, yes as long as they are not paying passangers and it's a privately owned vessel. HOWEVER, the insurance company will never insure a 6...

It's in the first 630 thread I believe. But, Sid's 570 was oil canning and the 630 was his warranty replacement. The 570 I ran seperated all of...
A new(ish) Roscioli Donzi was built with these oil bath shaft tubes. Let me see if I can dig up the link to it. They claimed to have gained...
