I spent the money on a watermaker and I never use it. It has been been pickled for two years now. I installed the watermaker then upgraded my...
Curious, do you actually save on gallons per mile at 22-23 kts? In my 54' I don't really save anything once I get above about 11 kts. I actually...
I can see wanting to limit the cost given you are not keeping the boat. Hopefully you will post info here when you move up to a 60'
When I shopped for a boat my last go around I would often ask my broker if the pictures posted were even of the same boat. And the seller's...
What size, type and vintage of boats are you considering? @SplashFi gives you a good rule of thumb at 10%. However, that can go up dramatically...
That would suck to have use a bladder, much less multiple bladders as a routine. I'm assuming you've exhausted all options of adding another fixed...
The major honkin’ repower/refit was completed in 2020 with more things done after that. I haven’t decided for certain to sell. It’s not a...
Hey now, I probably have the newest, older boat on the planet - LOL
I've been contemplating putting my 54' Sportfish up for sale so I've been trying to take notice of anything discussing the current market. Seems...
Just curious, do you need the extra fuel routinely or is this for a one time extended voyage? I can't imagine dealing with bladders and fuel...
Wow - the market has softened/collapsed that much?
Still in the deep freeze of winter so my boat and tender are hibernating in their cozy winter den. Ask me again after the spring thaw :):)
I have the CAT 1150hp C18’s in my boat. They use a bit over 80 GPH at 80% load for cruising. Right about 86 gpm. My boat is a little bigger though...
Understood. I just find it odd that ZF offers no viscosity/temp chart like virtually everyone else does. I know they keep temperature in mind...
I just checked the manual for my ZF 655 gears. It has interval of 500hrs/annually other than the first change at 50 hrs. Regarding viscosity, the...
If memory serves it as a 1000 her change interval but I would need to verify. Don’t recall any mention of annual. I was doing my first change...
I changed the oil in my ZF 665’s after this past season. 30 wt is what they called for.
3116TA at only 150 hp? Is that a typo perhaps? Didn’t realize they came in that low of hp rating? Even if you get comfortable with the history and...
Victron for the win
So far the Flexiteek is holding up really well and I am very happy with it. I extended it farther up the gunwale too. It still looks great and is...
