With my experience in yachts. I would NEVER want to cross the gulf stream in a wood boat again, as in ever. They stopped building boats out of...
Aside from Arnesons (which are an entirely different matter entirely and you're not going to get around overloading the engines at slow speeds)....
I've managed/maintained a few yachts with engine room air conditioning. It does nothing with the machinery running. But it's very good for...
The 58' Sedan Bridge is a good sea boat as well as a good layout. One of the best Searays they made, IMO. With the 900's they cruise at 28...
It looks fine, but does add to your air draft a bit over the previous one
They have a pool right behind the restaurant. I think it's heated. Downtown Brunswick is a nice little touristy beachy town. I've eaten at...

Are you sure that's a headhunter part? That looks like a run of the Mill Home Depot part. Yes, they're at the end of their lifespan. With the...
I've run around 100 sailboats. First, the larger sailboats over 65' start having huge restrictions as far as draft and air draft and are really...
yeah, until the aluminum bangs into your hull while you're lifting or lowering it and scratches the you know what out of paint.
When you mention large yacht, I am imagining over 150'. In that case the vessel should have a full time engineer and all of those jobs you listed...
45' Cabo express with C18's, will cruise 30.5-30.8 knots depending on fuel load, keep transferring to the aft tank as you're burning it. 1100 hp...
