That's sad. It's a SL86 not a 78; it's our neighbouring boat in Antibes. Looks repairable.
If you type "volvo IPS exploded drawing" into Google you get tons of stuff. Eg, click on "transmissions" on this page...
Hello. European boater here, who has owned multiple boats in the 25-100 foot zone, including among others Fairline, Princess, Sanlorenzo, Ribeye....
It's up to you guys, but does this conversation have to be on DM? Why not keep it open? Others are interested. I'm inside the factory in Italy...
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing.
Not sure what your question is, but those large engines have take off points, to give the builder the choice of taking some of the engine jacket...
In principle, yes, but I doubt they will do it. If they want to create a geofence that closely follows the coast, they need millions/billions of...
Fiammetta, as mapism says there is absolutely no transition in a 96 ft / 100+ tonnes boat. World of difference from 6 tonnes/40 feet. this...
Sorry my long post above is in bold font. I must have made a mistake typing on iPad.
That’s definitely an SL96A, PYB. And Load line length is not “waterline length”. Different things.
The boat pictured is an SL96A. It’s yard number 741, approx 2020/21 boat. Called gatsby now, previously creed, and previously to that ninipop xl....
Ed Dubois isn't easy to talk to, sadly. Andre Hoek went up in my estimation with last year's launch of Blue II, which I know well
You might want to look for a boat that is not only <24m Load Line Length, but is also < 24m "LH" (= hull length). Very broadly, the first one...
It's a slightly "how long is a piece of string" question because it depends on what is different between the standard build and the mgn280 build....
FWIW, in this debate between JWY and Capt J, I'm 100% with Capt J. It is down to personal choice, so I don't mean to argue aggressively with JWY;...
Here are a few random amateur vids from a phantom 3 drone. All shot with the drone at <100 feet, which is the rule to follow at least here in...
The 24m is not waterline length; it is load line length, which is rather different. You can broadly speaking get a 100 footer under 24m LLL, the...
Long time no post from me, though I lurk sometimes I have installed Lumishore uwl on my last 3 boats. They're nice quality and- afaik at least-...
Yup, fair comment - being a Euro boater I wasn't thinking of the Hatteras/Marlow/Outer Reef/ etc genre of boats when I made my comment above! I...
Some of the info above is a bit inaccurate. There is a dedicated crew cabin at the stern of the Squadron 78, but as the boat is semi custom the...
