I have run two different volvo boats, one with d-12's and one with d-6's I believe. Both were 2005ish boats. Both had numerous false engine...
Living in a US prison is like living in royalty compared to how he lives in Somalia! But, I agree that he could bring back information if set...
NO, the entire problem is with the JET. Totally wrong form of propulsion for a tender's intended purpose with no added value. Not to mention...
It depends on usage. If the application you're using them in, that you're running around on plane all of the time, they're fine. If you ever...
I highly doubt you can cut your GPH anymore. What you can do is run at hull speed. Your engines with those injectors should burn about 10gph at...
I agree, however I think you can only test instead of seatime on up to a 100 ton license. After that you must have the seatime. I also think you...
I ran a 2005 57' with a hardtop when it was new. I would never EVER want to run another. The center of gravity is too far foward on it. With...

I'm glad this worked out the way it did, and I am sure it's sending a good message to all of the Pirates in Somali. The sad thing is, had it gone...
What type of work are you doing in Chicago?
I agree, the jet's are horrible. The 14' Nautica jet was terrible. At slow speeds you were at 3,000-3,500 rpm's to do 6 or 7 knots and the smoke...
The Bertram cannot even compare in build quality to the Jarrett Bay, same with the ride and handling. Fuel consumption will be much better as...
I took care of and ran a 14' Nautica with a yamaha gas inboard/jet. It was very poorly engineered in my opinion and I would look to other brands,...
Yeah, really sad story. I remember hearing about it on the news about 6 months ago or a year ago when they dissappeared. They should fry that...
I agree this has been going on for too long, but the ships owners with the ships the pirates have taken have a lot at stake. The ship, the cargo,...
