I suggest you experiment with some inflatable mattresses. They cost very little ($15-20/a piece) and hold about 75 gallons of water (if you fill...
Very similar boats. Agree that the Princess appears more spacious and better balanced. I do not think that Riva has the same cachet it used to...
You guys may be right that 0.9 nmpg could be optimistic. I am pretty sure that once I run 350 nm without refueling and had fuel to spare on the...
You need to talk to owners of these boats. Ask Azimut how many of each they produced and get the higher volume boat. In my case, a much older...
Pascal, that is not the point. Stabilizers require energy and you can provide this energy from either a separate generator or increased fuel...
I have some second thoughts about this. These boats will achieve 1,000 nm at displacement speeds, 1 nmpg, so this means they use 8 gph. Then you...
I would just caution the "long-range" qualify which is mostly a marketing term. If you take the Magellano as an example, the boat displaces 76k...
One key question should be, do you plan to stay anchored out or do marina hopping? Most people I know dream about anchoring out but end up marina...
You guys understand that a simple garage door opener that can purchased for $40 can do this job easily? It uses exactly the same technology (433...
Any powerboat can do 2,000 or 3,000 miles if you drop the speed enough. If you are making 0.5 nmpg at 10 knots, you would be making 1.0 nmpg at 7...
It definitely points to a bad electrical design that you may want to revisit. Here are some guidelines: 1) Bow thrusters always on separate...
In my part of the world, a license is required and there are two popular ones, under 40 GT and under 300 GT. Pretty much anyone who is into...
Good luck with closing. I was going to say that the engine survey and oil analysis are probably unnecessary in your case but you did it anyway....
It really is a very personal choice. If you are looking for the Viking equivalent for cruising and entertainment, then it is Riva (style) and...
To me, the three biggest issues are: - Concave vs convex bow. I totally understand how a convex line allows more room inside but it just looks...
The Sunseeker 68 is a good boat. I do not like the profile and that it has too many cabins (4) but it handles well. If you want higher...
Following recent threads on yacht classification, I started thinking what it would take to classify my boat for unrestricted service, i.e. capable...
Found this somewhere, comes from Ferretti but looks reasonable.[ATTACH]
I was thinking to install it in place of this box on the port side. Here a couple of pictures, if you can imagine how it would look like. It fits...
I have been debating what to do with replacing old Cruisair units on my boat as well. Not so much for the flybridge but for the cabins. Unlike...
