An E rated 10,000hrs or 200,000 gallons of fuel.....whichever comes first.....some may go longer, some may go shorter.....
I don't know about over there, but over here we use big center consoles to fish tournaments if we're doing running and gunning with live bait. A...
Do you fish a lot of tournaments? Because every tournament I've ever run a SF in or fished in, every boat ran at normal cruise speed 80% to get...
The spec you are referring to Rated load and Rated speed, is Wide Open Throttle. I don't know of anyone the runs a Sportfish at WOT, hardly ever.
I thought they did some changes to the hull on the 45' express around 2001 as well.
No, the 54' Hatt computer on the DDEC said it was run otherwise...Most all of the hours were below 80% load. .it blew an engine on survey...
I did the week of seatrials on the 43' with the then new Man 800 common rails as Man N. America was dialing in fuel curves and such. They were...
To me the 48' rode even better, it holds more fuel and the weight aft helped with the ride and mainly the ride attitude. I really liked the 45'...
Normal operations, would be getting the boat ready to depart, letting the engines warm up and leaving the dock to go somewhere. Anchoring as part...
I saw one pair go almost 6,000hrs and the owner did very little in maintanence besides oil changes and impellors. On another boat a 1991 58'...
The 47' is a better riding boat and has better tendancies in a beam sea. However, the 48' was a big improvement over the 47' and 43' both. A 40'...
I ran one that was a 2001 50' Post and it was fixed by Post sometime around 2005 or slightly.
Is it the dark pink or the light pink coolant? The dark pink should be changed as scheduled. They make test strips to test it.....but I'd just...
See what the owner will discount the boat for. $100k seems awefully high especially in your neck of the woods, to fix the crazing and repaint the...
Also, wear a good respirator when sanding the aluminum as aluminum dust is very toxic if you inhale it.
As far as I know, it is not used on entire builds due to cost on that amount of surface area and probably EPA nonsense. BUT, it is still widely...
10,000 hours.....120,000 gallons top end overhaul, 200,000 gallons major overhaul. See page 103 for E rating over haul specs...
No, they're from the same time period and price range (late 90s). Not a newer one. I know of a nice 45' Sedan Bridge that I've dealt with for...
He's not looking for a mirror finish, he's looking for all non skid......non skid hides a lot of things. But the cracking has to be prepped and...
It has been used for years and years on aluminum. Outboard manufacturers use it as a primer on their parts. The best thing to use would be the...
