Very few, I knew the importer and he stopped inporting them. They built the boats slated for the US market sloppy in comparison to the ones built...
I ran a 2001 50' Viking SF with 1050 mans. It ran like a raped ape and cruised at 36 knots. The boat was stable. You do have to start backing...
I've run the 52' Cabo on a long trip and feel it is underventilated. When you are at cruise the engine room door stays sucked shut and takes a...
I do see things changing. I do a lot of deliveries and have had to do them at hull speed most of the time to keep expenses down. For example...
I really feel that the salvage laws need some revisioning for situations like this. It is one thing if a vessel goes down in 150 feet of water...
It becomes very difficult to do after a while. It is the reason I choose not to go full time. I did have a delivery and had to wait for an...
It was 2001 and IMO it is a dated hull design. The 35' Carolina Classic offers a phenominal ride in any sea in comparison. The new 38' was...
I am no chemist, but wouldn't even think of adding alcohol to a diesel tank. I just underwent a rebuild on a customers 12v71TI, that was rebuilt...
Here in South Florida, there are lots of plastic bags that end up in the water. I manage 10 different yachts and it seems like every week (or...
I am not an owner but was a fulltime captain on a 2005 45' Cabo. It is a great boat that is built strong, well engineered and thoughtout and...
It is definately possible for you to get a job as a deckhand on a yacht. Fort Lauderdale would be an easier place to get on a yacht. BUT, get...
I give you a lot of credit for releasing that fish and letting it live another day instead of all of the boneheads that have to hang it on the...
I too agree that most builder's will not guarantee a launch date or speed. I would not rush either of them or the builder might be apt to cut...
You may want to look into a 50' Azimut. It is as spacious as the 55' and has a much nicer layout inside.
I can tell exactly what caused the problem. Lack of use with only 337 hours in 12 years. Have the engines been started and run long enough to...
That 2 minutes might have saved the new owners life. There is no way in the world that I would trust my life on doing an atlantic crossing on...
Hydraulic cement does cure in salt water and underneath saltwater. It is the cement they use when they wrap wood pilings. Usually they put it in...
I also wouldn't use 5200. Life seal from boatlife would be a good choice. If you use tefgel on the threads of the screws it should help. You...
I would highly recommend not filtering the water before putting it into the tanks. You will remove all chlorine from the water and you will have...
I agree that the 53' Hatteras MY makes a terrific liveaboard. They are extremely quiet inside, very spacious, large galley, in your price range,...
