Those drives are going to be a mess for anyone where the boat normally sits. The IPS drives don't like any scaling on the propellors, otherwise...
I'm assuming that's the new "Betsy" to replace the older one docked in Lighthouse Point, FL. However, I'm really questioning 4 C18 cats, and 4...
I would get in touch with Volvo directly and see if you can fly someone in directly that might be able to get a handle on what's really broken or...
A 61' with CAT C 32's is a good running boat and will cruise 34 knots if you push it 80% load. Although the C32's seemed to run smoother and much...
It's amazing how quickly damage occurs when you neglect a wood boat for a year or two. Goodluck with your project and she has beautiful lines. I...
Aint that the truth!
Man on man, I remember the tiny Helipad at Bimini Big Game about 15 years ago, right next to the fuel pumps and palm trees. I saw a guy land and...

Getting rid of the 57' molds is probably the best thing Bertram has done in recent years. It was the wettest POS I've ever run. Something along...
I haven't seen the Jim Smith's slow down as they've gotten newer and with newer hull designs. The early Jim Smith's were narrow and not very...
I'm pretty sure they're still around. Check under either Key power or Goldcoast power, I thought I saw an ad for them selling a set of engines...
Garlington builds a good boat, but it is not one of the more mainstream custom sportfish. They handle well from what I understand. I think a...
That is considered an open bridge. It's pretty much understood that the sportfishes the poster is talking about are equipped with a 3 sided...
Vikings probably had the largest tournament showing of any manufacturer for a lot of years in the 2000's. The owners used them a lot. A lot of...
Check your shorepower and 110/220 volt wiring as well both on the boat side and shore side. In a marina, sometimes it is a neighbors boat. In...
