Yeah, some engines raise fish much better then others. Diesels also raise a lot more fish IMO then stern drives and outboards. I think CATS and...
I've never run a 50' with the 820 mans, but ran one with the 1050's and it was really fast. The 50' has a great cockpit, great fishing amenities,...
One thing I would check first before the impellor is water flow into the sea strainer. Make sure your seacock works, and close it, take the lid...
I don't think Carver would consider doing a 3 or 4 engine boat and the IPS don't produce enough HP for the size and performance of that vessel in...
What everyone wrote is correct. Heating the bolt with a torch works well, as does tapping it with a hammer and punch before trying to remove it...
LOL, actually all of the wood on the midnight express was actually airbrushed on there and there is no wood at all on that boat. It was very...
The 480's are good motors and the only issue I know of with them is there is a small hose that connects to the turbo that likes to go bad every...
Problem is, that trip is not nearly long enough to count as a day, but then again who is really going to check.
I've done the trip a few times, but need your vessel speed and range between fuel stops to advise you. Size of vessel would help as well. In...
I've seen it installed on both a 40' Cabo and a 45' Formula....... I'm pretty sure the dealer can activate the skyhook function with any computer...
The 40' Cabo has the skyhook feature installed in the software boat. I've been on in, but as of yet have never run either the Zeus or IPS
Try calling Carver, a lot of manufacturers have a warehouse of new older parts that they're sitting on. If they don't have it, they should be...
Congradulations!
I've run tons of 12v71 yachts, but only two with 12v92's. I ran a 58' Striker SF with a 22' beam and it burned 120gph at 1950rpm's. At that...
Well yes and no. With the IPS drives and smaller engines, you can probably gain a full 4 or 5 feet of interior length and a full beam because the...
I would not be worried about an older vessel as long as it's maintained. They require about the same maintanence as a newer vessel, maybe a tad...
The 42' I have not run or been on yet. I have indeed heard great things about it though.
I just renewed my license Feb 2009, and got the same old style of license on a sheet of paper. So what you're saying is they put your license on...
Most of the sportfishes tend to run a little bow high, which is great for rough seas. Putting the trim tabs down around 50% is where most...
This is true on both accounts. But on this particular Bertram, it puts the center of gravity too far foward and it runs too level. On a...
