Ocean Alexander wasn't really the issue. And you have to distinguish the SR Plants on Merritt Island - the Merritt Island Manufacturing Plant, the...
Those boats have Controllable Pitch Propellers. Loss of power and they default to full pitch forward. Spoke to a machinery guy who worked at the...
But it was somewhat reassuring to read about the heroic behavior of those who answered the ‘call”.
This was a 130'MY with 3 Staterooms, didn't see many 130 footers with 3 staterooms at that time. The converted VIP fwd on the Maindeck was...

The flow of a sedan/convertible is just different, even with a full set of rails like we do on the West Coast. You are isolated on the bridge,...

Because of the flex, I would say yes due to the structural strength of 5200. I would not want to be readdressing the same spot time after time....
Used 3M 5200 for this job?
This needs to be properly addressed. There have been cases of older boats running in seas and when the bow immerses, the water pressure hydraulics...
You stated "Displacement is the amount of water that is displaced measured in volume, not weight." When is the last time you saw displacement in...
Basic principle: Volume of Displaced Water = Weight of Vessel divided by the Density of Water Given any of the two variables above, you...
That amount of water, measured in volume - cubic ft or cubic meters, converted by the density of whatever water it is sitting in, results in the...
Nope, you got it. They just didn't, even with some gentle prodding. I would be inclined to do the course online if it were today.
I took one of those all day Auxiliary Coast Guard boating course a few years back as a company insurance requirement to operate company...
