I've read your speech against Categories before but with lack of any other distinguishing factor, I'd still take Cat A over Cat B and still when...
Having never been on either boat or seen either up close, I have only numbers and indicators to decide on. I don't find that decision on...
Well, if I must choose between those two, choosing between a Navetta 68 and Magellano 66, I'd choose the Magellano and has nothing to do with IPS,...
I wouldn't under any conditions consider stern drives for that purpose. There's a reason they are a dying technology. Now you're talking them for...
Neither.
Are you looking at inboards and shafts or at stern drives? Have you compared to large center consoles?
Magellano 43 and serious cruising. How about slow cruising as that's what using them on S7 and not Mags is about. The IPS targets speedier boat...
The three on the L590 just don't have the torque you'd like. With something other than Zeus, two would have been adequate. We have there on our AB...

Ralph, quite a post and a lot of good warning to it. Note that I specifically said in my post "no bars." I'd add, "no alcohol." When socializing...
I agree with you on hands on skills, but strongly disagree with the characterization of younger people. Perhaps true with those you've hired, but...
A few words of advice on mentors. You'll have to sort through a lot, but that's ok. Some give tremendous advice but don't practice close to that...
He's referring to an Ocean 48' SS and an Ocean 56' SS. Clue is where he posted.
You will see varying numbers based on load and based on specific model as many change over the years. They're all just approximations and to be...
On 43 year old gas engines, figure in replacement.
If they are selling, then they are reasonably priced. If not selling, then overpriced. But reasonably priced doesn't mean it's what you're willing...
