I wouldn't say no issues. I've run 5 different yachts to the yard in the past 2 years that had to have the IPS drives completely rebuilt, either...
There was a full electric line on their site 2 months ago when I previously looked at it. It's not showing now. I think it was on the side-power...
The entire reason Volvo bought Seven Marine was to use the lower unit and mid section to put a 300-350HP diesel on top of it. They couldn't get...
They were on the Siepner website (parent company of sidepower). For some reason the website has issues right now. Electric fins have no...
A friend of mine was full time on a 66' Azimut, by the time the boat was 3 years old, it had 3 different water leaks into the salon. You'll...
But the 350hp and 400 hp numbers are about the same HP to weight ratio as the 600hp v12. Right now the 450's only come with a 6 month or 1 year...
He doesn't already have stabilizers, it's a new install. Electric is supposed to actuate faster than hydraulic.
Easier to run wires than hydraulic hoses, no hydraulic pumps (engine driven or electric), electric motors have full torque all of the time. But...
We're getting way off topic. But new hydraulic stabilizers (modern technology) work really well if the installation and sizing is correct....
Hydraulic would be a fine retrofit in most boats and not that big of a deal to install. Sidepower now does make electric fins, I just haven't had...
You keep moving the goal post. I would go with whatever system worked the best for my application. If I was sending a boat to a remote place,...
Yamaha or Verados?
Me too, but I've managed several Neptunus over the years and never had a hint of any coring issues. They're a quality yacht and built pretty...
I'd rather have a newer 44' HTX with less hours than a 52' for the same money. The 52' was a very good riding boat, and all areas were bigger,...
Arnesons are a VERY HARD sell in this size range and over here. Especially for owner operators. I'd say that out of all of the owner/operators...
Look at Neptunus as they may meet your needs also. As far as I know Neptunus has never used Balsa.
We can agree to disagree, but Fairline was in serious financial trouble in that era 2013-2019, or for the first 2/3s of that era. They didn't...
Sidepower has an entire line of 100% electric fins. Hydraulic can be retrofitted fairly easily as well (that's what all fins were almost, up until...
I wouldn't touch anything from Gyro Gale. Not familiar with CMC, however would highly recommend sidepower curved stabilizer fins, ran a boat...
Lazzara and Viking are the only 2 builders I know of that built out of Balsa and used it successfully and without issues. Viking on SF decks many...
