I can only add to the previous comments that if you like the boat, you'd better look for one with Cat C-18. That was in fact a much more...
Listen, I really don't give a dаmn about your views and your political obsessions. If you are thinking to go on with this fanfare for the next...
Yep, all agreed. We did learn a bit how to manage this sh!t, after being caught with the pants down by the first wave. Well, as far as it can...
Well it seems that we are all going by what we were told... Coming to think of it, years ago one dealer did mention to me the partialization on...
I'd be glad to, if only I could find any references about it. Can you possibly enlighten me?
I can't answer your question on the exact RPM cutout. But I half recall to have been told by a MAN chap that it depends on both load and RPM, so...
Thanks for the explanation, makes good sense.
Actually, my understanding is that this classification is made at Region rather than Province level. Local authorities do have the option of...
Because I have my fair share of grey hairs. Ever heard the expression "c'est le ton qui fait la musique"? I wouldn't have posted the reply I...
Good to hear that. All the best, and hope to see you around if you'll decide to enjoy her in the Med for some time.

Are you referring to the folks in Viareggio? If so, fair play to them!
Ok, if you say that the one in Patsea ain't an u/w exhaust, then we are on the same page: - port along the hull bottom = underwater exhaust. -...
... As I said, I'm not familiar with Jim Smith boats - and also not much with SFs in general, being based in the Mediterranean, where they are...
Hang on, are exhaust ports supposed to be on the stern, or underwater? Both are wet systems, but very different: exhaust ports on the stern...
Good point, thanks. I can see why recessed trim tabs make sense on a SF, to minimize chances of interference with fishing lines.
Coming to think of it, this photo explains what I meant better than a thousand words, as they say. And by sheer coincidence, the engines are DD......
Generic questions, generic answers: no, not ALL engine compartments are designed for engine replacement - not easily, anyway. And yes, some...
R U sure? That would be a weird placement. In principle, U/W exhausts should be placed more forward, closer to the engines, for two reasons. The...
Do you guys have an idea of how the stern section of the hull is made, and why? The detail below from the video in the linked webpage made me...
