Our best back-up is a Fortress, sized slightly larger than suggested for our boat, dismantled and stowed in its bag. That style has worked well...
We have a Jatco Trillogy rig on our swim platform, and it works well enough. The manual winch lets me haul our dink with motor, battery, fuel,...
So, far EHG has built only a few Silvertons. From memory, I think two 36Cs, two 42Cs (renamed 43C), a 410 or 430 Sport bridge (can't remember...
We read about it at the time. All I can remember just now is that it was snotty weather even before the guy left the dock, and then it got...
FWIW, I might even consider comparing a decent center console -- with forward and aft seating, a good head, a useful T-top (shade) -- as a...
Might be right about the T. I didn't necessarily mean it "stood for" (some kind of obscure acronym? whatever) multi-weight, but it just seemed to...
OK, I got nuthin'. :) Interesting one part of the label says T Engine Oil SAE 40 (T suggesting multi-grade) and the other part says T1 SAE 40...
Ah. Hadn't noticed it was the same link. In any case, what I was focusing on is that it appears Rotella T (not T1) and any straight weight...
See here http://rotella.shell.com/products/t1.html for Rotella products. T is multi-grade, T1 is straight grade, T5 is synthetic blend, T6 is...
Saw that article in a recent (I think) Power & Motoryacht... -Chris
When I say I'd chose pods, these are the major reasons. Maneuverability is only a nice plus, but that can be solved other ways... so that's...
Geez... But anyway, can you say whether that was only because of over-all size (or lack thereof)? Or instead, maybe that specific layout? Or...
What the heck's the story behind that yacht crash? -Chris
I would be more likely to buy with pods, assuming the rest of the boat fits, assuming no more than 2 engine/pods, and I'm thinking it would be in...
I don't either, really... and I don't have insight into real facts and figures (market wide, Viking-specific, Silverton-specific) to even know...
Not exactly. Maybe yes, but that might also depend on your definition of "manufacturer." Dr. Ira Trocki -- the guy who bought Buddy Davis, Egg...
Haven't had that problem. The original carpet sucked; had some black rubber backing that peeled off during the aging process, got ground into...
Nothing different. No changes to interior. Never had a fighting chair. After our very short bout of fishing in the Spring, we put the cockpit...
Our convertible suits us, and it happens I do "fish" a little. Only in the Spring, only trolling, only during our "trophy" rockfish (striped...
Might very much depend on what "engines" (and so forth) actually means for a given candidate. Good tune-up versus major overhaul versus complete...
