I ran a 76' Monte Carlo and was not impressed with it at all. It had very small fuel tanks and subsequent small fuel range. The interior looked...
A 66' Manhattan meets ALL of the needs listed in the OP's posting by the OP. I'm not in a hole. You're in a hole without a f'ing shovel and...
You like to argue just to argue. Do you have another solution you can recommend to the OP, or are you just pissing in the wind and creating...
What many owners fail to forget, is that if they had their business work like their yacht crew, they would not have ANY employees left. Yacht...
They are correct in that I don't know exactly what the OP's needs are except that he says his 52' Prestige is TOO SMALL and he has 3 KIDS, and...
If a Prestige is too much new, anything else (new) will also be too much. You want a boat that will meet your needs, look at a used Sunseeker 66'...
It's not opinion, it's fact. Volvo's are not extremely expensive to maintain compared to similar sized engines..... a little more maybe. I have...
Volvo parts are extremely expensive compared to what? Volvo parts are a little higher and parts are a little harder to find than say Cummins, but...
On a 60' I'd much rather have it on the swim platform. It helps considerably with stability and also opens up the aft FB area. I'm pretty sure...
I'm not talking about raising it or pulling it forward, just rotating it forward so it's sitting on the side of the block.
I don't know. I don't remember running a pre 2012. I've run lots of newer ones. They tend to run 24-25 knots full fuel, dinghy etc. etc. There...
You need to do as suggested with the plywood, then loosen/remove the motor mounts and roll the engine on it's side (forward). That will grant you...
It's been so many years that Ive forgotten some of the exact details of the owners. But, I ran and managed a brand new one of the "new" 57's that...
The hull was also slightly redesigned in 2012 along with the interior and the going to straight shafts. I've run lots of the 60' MY's and they're...
If I was looking for that type of sportscar and new. You really cannot beat the new vette. It does it all.......reliable, fuel efficient, fast,...
Olderboater owns a handful of yachts from around 35'-130' and does close to 15,000 NM's a year of cruising all over the world. What do you own?...
Make sure to change the aftercoolers every 6 years and that they've already been changed, price it. Because if they haven't you're going to want...
It's really easy to pretend to know what you don't know. This trip is an incredibly hard trip with many perils, weather, very long runs, pirates,...
It's obvious the trip is really beyond your abilities. Finding fuel stops is the easiest part of planning a trip like this. There's no way in...
Bertrams issues were FAR more extensive than what you believe and effected far more boats than you believe. I personally know of about 18 57' or...
