I cannot tell you if it would be worthwhile. If you can secure one job and it pays for the price of the machine, then go for it. I have no idea...
Running solo is adding a ton of risk that could easily be mitigated. There is no argument there. Had the guy in the 30' sailboat had a friend on...
The 50' has engine room access from the cockpit. I am not sure about floor hatches on the 46' in the salon, but floor hatches in the salon will...
I've seen large jobs being quoted by time.....$150-300 per hour per diver......I don't think you'd need much in the way of stuff to do a...
Until it comes time for the insurance company to pay for damage or a loss, which they won't if you read 95% of the policies for yachts over 40' or so.
Yeah except you're not chancing someone's multi-million dollar asset, nor risking other people's life, limbs, or property. Suppose you get a 75...
It's called being experienced and wise. I've seen so many simple things go wrong over the years and with all of the yachts I've run, that I would...

I've never heard of water being sucked back in. BUT, shutting off the raw water intake and cranking the generator for more then a few seconds...
You could single handle a 55' by yourself. But you'd be totally insane to run any boat without a second person on board. Anything can and will...
The 50' Post is wider then the 46. I think the bow is lower as well. I ran a 2001 50' Post SF with 900 mans. It cruised at 25 knots if I...
Yes, the 44' sat across the canal from my mom's house in Lauderdale By the Sea for years. It was redone, an express without any tower or hardtop....
I have seen and heard them performing exercises in that area several times over the years.
The fuel water seperator is also a filter. Change that. Also, generators always pull fuel from a higher level in the fuel tank and are the first...
