No time. I passed the boat on the fuel dock and saw nothing out of the ordinary and less than 1/2 a mile later I saw a HUGE plume of black smoke...
You can make water from fresh or brackish water as long as the water is clean. Run lower pressure so the output is the same.
Once that thing ignited, I would'nt have gotten within 200' of it. No amount of property is worth someone's life trying to untie a line. I...
Yeah, 63' was older model I believe.......62' was their best selling yacht. I had one in a 5-7' beam sea, towing a 25' Robalo and it handled it...
Yes. They're a straight forward boat, built with easily sourced mostly U.S. parts, excellent owners manual detailing where everything is with...
I managed/maintained and ran one back when it was nearly new. It ran very well with C 18's.......23.5 knot cruise.....easy on fuel...... the 64'...
I had just pulled out of Bahia Mar 10 minutes earlier. We saw the smoke behind us as we were at markers 9 and 10 to the New River........I don't...
Turns out a 28' gas boat fueled at Bahia Mar and then caught fire and drifted into the bow of a Megayacht docked on the face dock. Boat catches...
What are you planning on monitoring these temps for and how often?
Not off hand. The build quality of the Hatteras is second to none in that size. Perhaps take a look at the 63' Sunseeker Manhattan. If you...
I manage a 2007 62' Predator and a 2019 66' Manhattan. Both have the ball and socket style snaps and no velcro. Not sure why other manufacturers...
You can get into Ocean Reef no problem as long as you know a member. The canal that goes to Pilot House Marina in Key Largo you can get into as...
How old are your batteries. If 2.5 years old or older, replace. Check your batteries for any AC voltage leaking from the charger. Call an MTU...
Yeah I know.......but I've had situations where I had to yank the throttles down and then put them in Neutral in a hurry because it was too close...
What happens if you see something floating in the water and need to slow down REAL FAST. That's the downside to that setup.......
I agree with you that maintenance needs to go on all of the time. However, aluminum cannot be straight neglected for 5 years......drop a tool in...
If it's your permanent slip and you can put those rubber wheels on the outside corners and permanent fenders on the dock all of the way in you...
The big problem with Aluminum is it does not lend itself to neglect like fiberglass does. For example, let a fiberglass boat sit for 5 years with...
It's impossible to say, because HOW dirty was the bottom, it's something that's impossible to measure. I soda blasted one yacht about 6 years...
So you bought a completely neglected boat and then are complaining about Aluminum.....Yet after fixing the boat got 15 trouble free years out of...
