It was the Hoverspeed ferry. I recall the noise being like a commercial airliner. The interior was as well. It didn’t feel like a boat, and...
I crossed the English Channel on a hovercraft. Twice.
Gorgeous!
Exactly. I didn’t mean the human brain, but the computer that’s “flying” the boat.
Excellent! There must be quite a brain in there to keep her stable.
Sorry about that JaxCap, this can be a tough neighborhood, but a lot of wisdom here. Even if they misspell “noob”. :-D
I like the look of unpainted mild steel boats... but only while wreck diving.
Maybe because this boat is Al? YES.

Nice! The right boat is worth the search.
Speaking of yachtfish... I like the Mikelson Nomad.
Agree, RER. Listing says “ready to cruise”. :-O
Painted, so not as low maintenance, but interesting... https://www.**************/boats/2014/whitacre-68-offshore-adventure-pleasure-yacht-2986488/
Another electric outboard aiming for a 2021 launch. Looks interesting. https://www.purewatercraft.com/product/pure-outboard/
Pac, I have to disagree. I think the Monk jr. designs were excellent. I especially liked the short-lived 54/60 trawlers of 2008-10.
I heard of Maggi Chain, doing Italian made stainless chain. Supposedly certified.
I’m pretty sure SL bought Lewmar and assumed the name, so Lewmar might be helpful. I also got great advice and parts from Florida Rigging.
Post pictures. We love pictures. (Properly sized)
Might only be room for 1 spare, but that’s better than nothing. I think. Anybody ever used a shaft mounted spare?
Assuming they’re 7+ years old... Replace the entire shaft seal assemblies on both sides. And check shaft alignment and cutless bearings.
