Hi Ralph, if you're referring to something I wrote... no, both throttles were moved together from idle to WOT for this test, per the Cat tech's...
Okay, thank you. My intuition says that the whole purpose of counter-rotating props is to cancel out such unilateral effects. I did talk with...
Hi, My wife and I are in contract to purchase a 2001 Horizon 76, twin Cat 3412Es, skylounge, stabilizers, etc. We went out for the sea trial...
Yup, survey is in-process (haul-out and sea trial tomorrow). I just need to grab the SNs then, rather than wait for Pantropic's report in a few...
Got it, thank you! I think that Holt is another dealer close to me at home. I'll give one of them a call once I extract the serial numbers from...
Thanks, Ralph. I've read the not-so-good stories about Pantropic, but I was under the impression that they are the only local (Ft Lauderdale)...

Thanks for the thoughts. It would be a gamble, agreed. That's why I wanted to bounce the idea off the collective wisdom of this forum. Just...
Yes, this is the dilemma. The primary reason to even consider this is that we'd end up with a boat with stability at anchor, versus spending,...
In absence of any 82' owners piping up here (probably a long shot, anyway), I'm interested in other opinions of this boat. The current captain...
I've been looking for a Jefferson for some time now and found this 82' Starship in Florida: https://www.chapman.org/p/245/31-and-up (down at the...
Thank you guys for confirming my suspicion. I'll reach out to MTU and see if they can pull up the serial number.
Hi, I'm looking at a 2003 Jefferson 73 in San Diego and there is some confusion about which version of 12v183 is installed. The listing is 650 HP...
