OB, while I often find your boating related posts entertaining, the above is silly. I have many years of formula car racing experience and 100s...
Why would he be faster with a manual transmission? Assuming both are dog ring racing gear boxes, the sequential box will always be faster!
Hi Pascal. Is there a cost for the test and how long does it take to get results? Do you get them in person or by email?
Thanks for the detailed info. It's still a few months out, but you have to plan early if you want to get a spot a Staniel cay or Compass.
Pascal, your videos are beautiful. Sandy Cay looks magnificent, so does Lee Stocking. I will be on my boat this weekend and look over my charts...
We have been to the Exumas many times and it continues to be a favorite destination. I am wondering if there are any other islands worth to visit...
I have had UMT chocks on my integral swim platform for several years. They work great. To mount them they came with flanges maybe 3 in diameter...
While my 50 Viking sport cruiser is not what you are looking for, we do a couple Bahamas trips a year spending maybe 4 weeks per summer on the...
Yeah, the Big Majors anchorage is so much quieter without all of those tourist center consoles going to visit the pigs. There are about 20...
It was nice to see you as well. I have to say the Exumas remains one of the nicest place to visit with exceptional water and so many islands and...
We crossed back into the US Sunday, from Bimini. Cleared out at Bimini customs with no problems on Saturday afternoon. They had no idea of what...
See my very recent post above yours. The current CAT recommendations are for inspection/cleaning every 2 years or 1000 hours and replacement at...
This most definitely applies to CATs in the 350-500 HP range. Although the actual aftercooler cores may be bronze, it is at the collars that they...
The Viking Rescyou life rafts are packed in a heavy duty vacuum packed bag. This is then loaded into the valise or canister. The vacuum pack...
I also found a picture of the hull forward that shows the forefoot around 35 degrees but also the strakes and start of the reverse chine.
I measured my deadrise aft (50 ft 1998/99 VSC Princess) using a digital level inside near the dripless shaft seals and it was 19.5 degrees, but...
At least with regards to the late 90’s early 2000’s Princess/VSC (unsure about the newer ones), they have a pronounced reverse chine, which...
When I bought our 98/99 50 ft VSC/Princess I looked at dead rise, entry and forefoot (maybe 75 percent forward) closely as having a wider weather...
Your definition is what I assumed, but wanted to be sure. There are NO poke and stick terminals on my VSC boat. Every breaker panel has screw...
Hi, I think chop and wind driven seas are where the Princess/VSC hulls do best. They have a fairly high deadrise (mine is IIRC 21 degrees) and...
