Out of idle curiosity, which type of crew boats are you talking about? I'm asking because 'crew boat' makes me think of something fast-ish, and if...
Positively +1 to all of that. The forces at play in a 100 tons steel trawler moving at 8 knots vs. a floating town (whose mass was more than a...
Funny you should mention her, J. Not sure if you remember, but during my stay in another boat (the MS75 which I think you know) from which I took...
Far from pretending to answer on behalf of NY Cap, but my understanding of what he meant is simply more weight=more fuel. Which is somewhat true...
In that respect, the Dashew's FPBs are even better. Different strokes for different folks, as always with boats....
I did some math, actually. That's why I checked the Cat specs for the C-18, according to which two of them should burn 57 GPH at 1800 rpm, not 67....
+1, and not only for Zopilote (now called Holiday, as I recall). Here's another couple of almost sisterships, as spotted by truly yours. The...
I can't be positive on current Irish-specific rules, if any. But I did deal with an Irish broker, a dozen of years ago. Back then, he was happy to...
Interesting. Multi-voltage battery banks aren't actually that common, among EU builders. Wherever 12V-only components are present in an all-24V...
Well, in this case forget what I said! :) Out of curiosity, is that a standard Donzi setup? I never came across a boat with 24V DC for engines...
No clue about how realistic the speed numbers are on that particular boat, but the 67 gph @ 1800 is nothing to write home about, even assuming...
Wow, I'm impressed by how many draft specs you can remember! I must admit that I'm not used to consider that as a relevant factor, because it...
Well, it only takes me about a dozen of nautical miles from my home berth to have 900 feet or deep blue stuff under the keel - and not many more...
LOL, couldn't agree more! :) That's one of the reasons why it happened to me to go as far as "24 on / 0 off" for three days in a row.... But...
Are you referring to any specific model? In their current lineup (90/100/110) I never heard anyone mentioning their draft as significantly deeper...
Thanks for the "Carolina smile" pointer, I never heard of that type of application. Interesting to see M66 suggested along the areas more prone...
No worries, I don't think you actually confused anyone. :) Btw, I perfectly see where you come from, 'cause "tachimetro" is the Italian (my mother...
"Lower quality" is not the right way to put it, also because quality is a somewhat relative concept. I'd rather say different, and mostly focused...
Wow, 2 kts on a not so fast boat (low 30s, I suppose?) is a helluva improvement! Do you possibly have any reliable indications from someone who...
Mmm.... With one guest cabin that requires to cross the corridor for accessing a shared bathroom on the opposite side? Seriously? I would be...
