Console has not moved, the hinged portion of the console with the electronics has come "unhinged" and partially obscured the pod that contains the...
Even worse. I still can't understand how the radar reflector on the buoy has no visible damage. Considering what the reflector is made of, I...
BTW, take another look at the photos of the helm. WHERE THE HELL IS THE WHEEL AND THE CONTROLS?
Take a look at the photos that show the stbd side head (or what's left of it). Notice the amtico flooring, half of the amtico is missing....
Considering how many "new" 630's are in Ferretti groups inventory, you would think giving the owner of this boat a replacement would be a no...
The 630 has become Bertrams Ford Pinto. They've had problems with lamination since 630 #1 (that boats port engine stringers ripped off and sent...
The 510 (and the old 50' it was based on) is a poorly balanced boat, the LCG is too far forward. They run best with several thousand pounds of...
Give Mr. Napier a ring, he'd be more than happy to get you the layouts.

The highly leveraged (who isn't) are just about gone, those who saw this coming a few years ago and acted accordingly will hopefully be fine. I...
If bertram has indeed taken care of the owner then thats fantastic. (See the Bertram thread.) What isn't so fantastic is the article regarding...
The boat was not surveyed when it was new, it was surveyed by a GANG of surveyors and naval architects/engineers this week.
They're on this like white on rice, the fine bar members that I saw at the boat all had $$$$$$$$$$$$ signs in their eyes.
Lets put all the BS and speculation aside. I inspected the 63 in question in person, the news is not good. What you see on the port side is only...
Please refer to paragraph two of post 44.
That must have been after the third or fourth set of rudders. The initial sea trials before the lauderdale show were horrible, the boat would...
My take on the ferretti built sportfisherman is very simple. The SF guy is IMO a meat and potatoes kind of guy. The boat is to look a certain...
I was on the prototype as well. You forget to mention the boat doesn't turn at speed (it just lays over on one side) and that at speed in...
