It's not opinion, it's fact. Volvo's are not extremely expensive to maintain compared to similar sized engines..... a little more maybe. I have...
Volvo parts are extremely expensive compared to what? Volvo parts are a little higher and parts are a little harder to find than say Cummins, but...
On a 60' I'd much rather have it on the swim platform. It helps considerably with stability and also opens up the aft FB area. I'm pretty sure...
I'm not talking about raising it or pulling it forward, just rotating it forward so it's sitting on the side of the block.
I don't know. I don't remember running a pre 2012. I've run lots of newer ones. They tend to run 24-25 knots full fuel, dinghy etc. etc. There...
You need to do as suggested with the plywood, then loosen/remove the motor mounts and roll the engine on it's side (forward). That will grant you...
It's been so many years that Ive forgotten some of the exact details of the owners. But, I ran and managed a brand new one of the "new" 57's that...
The hull was also slightly redesigned in 2012 along with the interior and the going to straight shafts. I've run lots of the 60' MY's and they're...

It's really easy to pretend to know what you don't know. This trip is an incredibly hard trip with many perils, weather, very long runs, pirates,...
It's obvious the trip is really beyond your abilities. Finding fuel stops is the easiest part of planning a trip like this. There's no way in...
Bertrams issues were FAR more extensive than what you believe and effected far more boats than you believe. I personally know of about 18 57' or...
In that case the 55' Princess is a lot better choice for the U.S. market. It has a fiberglass hardtop that can be enclosed. Has tons of exterior...
Because the Sunseekers are great sea boats. I've put them in all kinds of seas, slop, and sh@&. I've had the 66' Manhattan in up to 6-8' and it...
Sunseeker without a doubt, much better sea boat and much better quality. Do a search for the Azimut delamination threads if you need any...
I ran a 50' Galleon and it was definately a price point boat. However I had it in a 2-4' beam sea and it rode surprisingly well. While I didn't...
The 62' predator is a great sea boat. Very good running boat in a sea, but it's very nimble if you put it through it's paces in turns. At 30...
