Agree. I'm less concerned about getting the absolute best price because it's fluid. Rather I'm just trying to determine what's typical in this...
Appreciate the replies. I'm sure some of you have scored great deals on new boats, but I suspect that is a more rare event given the current...
Bumping this thread after finding it via search. Without much luck on larger stuff, we're looking at smaller, new boats. For context a Viking,...
Thanks for this recommendation, picked it up after seeing this post and it's a good read.
We've bounced back and forth between a motor yacht and sportfish and this is very true. Lots of windows, none of them open and you're running the...
I would guess there is a 44lb anchor currently in place. Is it feasible to get this up to 88 or 110lbs with a bigger windlass? Who would I go to...
Capt J - destroying yet another boat target! I kid and as always truly appreciate your input and experience. That doesn't sound good. I know one...
Pascal - here are some pics. I will probably end up getting a yacht controller to help with docking and anchoring. In the past on a non-flybridge...
Capt J - Viking 64 is on my list and one is my top choice. Unfortunately not as many Hatt 60/64 available, hopefully some inventory will come on...
Anchoring would be in the Bahamas, so I'd say 15-25ft depth at most times. Capt J - my previous boat had 200ft of chain, this sportfish has a mix...
I'm looking at a sportfish in the 60ft range that we will cruise and fish. Almost every one I've looked at has an undersized windlass and...
I have a brand new Volvo IPS Active Corrosion Protection ACP unit. Bought it was a spare for my boat which I sold earlier this year. Located in...
Jef Burke, Marine International Diesel Inc in Lauderdale. I've used him for a Volvo IPS survey and he's highly regarded in the area.
I had someone who tows a CC suggest a remote engine trim setup. According to him, he could raise and lower the engine of the CC from the lead...
Can anyone add insight on how planing speeds for the towed vessel might come into the picture? One of the center consoles we're looking at...
Capt J thanks. Agree on the size, unfortunately most of the brands I'm looking at size their smallest models over 25ft. Part of the problem is...
I'm planning to tow a center console tender and have been doing my research. I've found great information on the line materials, bridle setup,...
I've found a really good Volvo guy who is not with one of the usual suspects in South FL. PM me and I'll send his name, at the very least he can...
Exactly this in South FL. When I move to pass, I'd say 10% of people slow down or stop. Most stay at the same speed, which means I have to speed...
I appreciate the help and was intentionally avoiding detailed information so as to not trash a listing. I only have a few other pictures that show...
