I'm not sure anyone can really answer that. I have a 9kw Onan that's original to my 2000 43' Ocean. It's got some rust but uses no oil or...
I own a 43' Ocean and agree with OP as I keep tabs on many of the same boats. Prices are way up. I am amazed at what 40-50ft SF's are going for....
Luv, congratulations. I really like the model as well as the 54 which is obviously a fair bit smaller. Keep us posted on how it goes. Enjoy.
I would say that Sabre's are very high quality boats. I have a friend with 2004 36' flybridge and I've spent a fair bit of time crawling around...
I don't consider myself expert enough to say what is right. But it's been my observation as a heavy consumer of internet boat forums, blogs, and...
I put the same lights on my Ocean. I rewired to my helm just for these lights and the removed the big halogens on the hardtop. Cleans up the...
The layout on my '43 may well be a bit different than your boat. I started by cutting a hole in my head floor so I could get a look at how the...
Yes, this is good advice and exactly what I attempted on mine. Unfortunately the hoses were wire tied and screwed to stringers in inaccessible...
On what model? I did it on my 43' and it was among the most difficult jobs I've ever tackled on a boat. I think Ocean did a horrible job of...
Congratulations. I remember when you bought it. You were shopping about the same time I was. I'm a few years from an upgrade but following your...
All of the major brands will do what you're asking. Over time, people who use them a lot tend to develop preferences for the way one handles...
I love my underwater lights and would probably install them on any boat I have. I had a set of Lumitec Seablaze X's for 5 years on my current...
Had the same issue with my Ocean. AC well pump. Had to run the generator to wash my hands when on a mooring. Drove me nuts. One day the thing...
Not sure I follow that... I knew the owner of the Ace in my town before he sold. He and his family owned and staffed the store. It was there...
Congratulations on the new boat. Any graphics place can use a photo of your boat and turn it into a line drawing to use on shirts and cups, etc...
Same think happened to me on my 43' . Both spring cleats were loose. Found and access panel behind stareboard settee. On port side there was...
We may not care as much as NZ as a nation but we care. Patriot was built close to my house and I have a friend who's an engineer on the team and...
Not to hijack the OP but I think the 1/2" overhang is so that he can come back later and flush trim the inside edge to the coaming with a router.
Definitely not the norm here in the North East. No yard I'm familiar with will let you leave anything plugged in while you're away from the boat...
Great project. Keep the pics and info coming. I have teak covering boards and deck on my Ocean that I may need to replace one day.
