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...

I agree that the 53' Hatteras MY makes a terrific liveaboard. They are extremely quiet inside, very spacious, large galley, in your price range,...
I highly doubt that THAT thing would make it back. I would have more faith taking the dinghy back. hehehe
Fuel injection has better economy, start ups and better running. But parts are more costly and there are more parts to fail over carberators....
Heating the part with a torch will totally free the loctite as it looses it's adherence properties at around 400 degrees F and actually works like...
It sounds like the diodes or voltage regulator in the alternator is bad. Welding definately could have caused the problem. Try the Onan...
Find a good machine shop and have them cut the bearings that you have on a lathe for the additional clearance that you need. That would probably...
I like Headhunter over vaccuuflush. It seems to hold up better and have more robust flushing power.
I kind of like not having natural light in the crew stateroom. If you're doing a long delivery and doing day and night shifts, it enables you to...
